In the past, I loved the snow. But this is just way to much for regular vancouverites to handle.
Its like chaos out there with all that people taking up the right traffic lane to park, and all the side streets with tire while with high piles of snow in the middle.

Still snowing, and I'm just getting ready to go snowboarding. There's about 4" of snow on my car right now.

Ugh. When will it stop!?
Hiking in 2-3 feet of snow isn't fun.

The city never plowed any streets within a 4 block radius of my house throughout any of the snowfall over the last few weeks. I'm scared to leave not because I'll get stuck but because I don't want to lose my prime parking spot. Asking them to plow it would be asking a lot I guess.

i love it. though i can see why people are so opposed to it
here's a tip for those of you dreading getting into the car in these conditions:
the single most imperative element you could possibly obtain in order to keep a level head while driving in these conditions will not cost you a cent-
confidence

confidence | how about this one instead:
if you can't find a decent path for your car out to a main street, leave the car at home.

At least it won't smell.  I remember one summer when the "Sanitary Engineers" went on Strike. Garbage stunk like crazy for weeks.

I live in townhouses and there are two sides.
On my side, we have three giant dumpsters, all filled to the top, overflowing, tons of garbage on the floor too, recycle bin things are filled to the top as well.
