Thanks, I was just editing my post.

No need to hate just because you're not properly equiped.

Then you have the people on winter tires bitching at all the people on all seasons stuck and blocking up traffic.

Amen to that.

I dunno why people get so defensive about driving in snow
Either you can get around or you can't, no point in bitching around on an internet forum - newsflash - most ppl on the road IS NOT ON REVSCENE.

Another totally ignorant response.

Apparently, there are enough of these careless drivers are on RS to even turn this discussion into an argument, at least 2 anyway.

And no, the point ISN'T whether you can or cannot get around in the snow...we're talking about driving safe and respecting everyone else on the road, in shitty or good conditions. Idiotic driver's don't own the road with their 4WD and winter tires.

Also, if this is "bitching" on the internet, and it's apparently so pointless as you put it, why are you contributing your useless response to this pointless discussion on the internet?

pinetree and johnson are closed.

Driving without snow tires in this weather is just being ignorant. I'm not helping dig you out of the snow if you don't have snows on, and I definitely have no sympathy for you when you slide down an icy hill and into someone.

[matrixfwd]

how's the snow in your area now? Richmond finally getting some.
Last night Vancouver was getting a big dump in the evening but then as soon as I crossed Knight st bridge, the snow disappeared. It was like it never snowed. But tonight it is accumulating as I look out at the car windshields and cement.

[Ch28]

I hope they close the office tomorrow. It was snowing really heavily around 7pm in Burnaby so I can't even imagine how hard it is in Coquitlam or Surrey

[LemonH2O]

I WISH they would close shop tomorrow but definitely no go...snow like this triples business

[Presto]

I just got back from fuel and food. It's awesome out there. The roads are slush and ice. Good times for the commute tomorrow morning! The low hum sound from passing snow plows isn't their diesel engine... it's the workers grumbling.

FUKING IDIOTS NEED TO BE PUT DOWN.

coming down cypress was slow as fuk avg 20km/h. i can jog faster than that. then the cars all stopped on the mountain for some reason. at least i got to get out of the car to take a piss on the side of the road. later i see 2 cars that fell into the ditch in the side of the road. one just ran into there, another spun out and fell into there.

merging onto HWY1-east traffic was slow as fuk. guess what? it was a Jetta slowing everyone down. making everyone go from 3 to 2 to 1 lane to go around him. he was constantly spinning his tires trying to make it up the SLIGHT incline on the highway going 5km/h. GET OFF THE FUKING ROAD FOR FUKS SAKE. fucktards these days.

then i go for the Boundary exit and guess what, cars are backing out of it, WTF. i quickly get back onto the HWY and head for the next exit, Willingdon South. I turn right onto Canada Way to head back to vancouver, but i see ahead and theres cars stuck on the incline, one car stuck in each lane, FUKTARDS. everyone was waiting at the light just jammed there having no fuking clue what to do, i was like FUK THIS and did a huge U turn from the right-most lane(instead of the Left turn lane, there was 3 lanes) to the other side bypassing all the fuktard traffic (it was a green light and no one could move). did a mad drift too.

then i turn right back on to Willingdon south and guess what, JAM JAM JAM. FUK. so i do another U turn and go on Willingdon north. then i take the Granview exit to vancouver.

once i went past Boundary, JAM JAM JAM JAM. FUK.

wanted to turn left on Rupert, but all the cars are stuck on the uphill and its JAMED all the way down to Granview so i JAM JAM JAM all the way to Renfrew and the SAME thing there. all cars stuck b/c some FUKTARD is stuck on the uphill blocking everyone. so i go FUK IT and turn left onto a small street. this is what i see: a BMW spinning his tires, FUK. i am uber pissed off so i go around his ass plowing thru the unshoveled/touched snow like its nothing and i go towards the uphill portion and guess what, a fuking GM work van is spinning its rear wheels blocking the intersection. FUK. i reverse but the BMW guy is just sitting there blocking the intersection behind me spinning his rear wheel. i go out and push him a few meters and as i tell him im about to push him his 2 daughters (age maybe 18-early 20s) come out to help. he was sitting in the car spinning his wheel with his 2 daughters doing nothing not even pushing. WOW they are FUKING STUPID. This BMW guy should go shoot himself b/c no way his RWD piece of shit can move anywhere with his useless daughters just sitting there.

then i back up into the intersection and turn left outta there and then turn right onto Renfrew. Luckly, the guy that was stuck was just able to move his fukface and his fukin car out of the way and everyone went up the hill. as soon as i was up that hill, there was BARELY any traffic ANYWHERE. no JAMS, no stuck cars.

WHAT THE FUCK.

1hr max trip turn into 3 hr trip. FUCK ME.

im rolling in a '97 Jeep Cherokee stock with all seasons tires. i have no trouble anywhere in this shit snow. if it wasnt for the fucktards mentioned above, i would have been home from cypress in 45 mins.

[bossxx]

this sucks. i wonder when the plows are gonna come up to westwood plateau. I guess they weren't expecting this much snow so the plow guys are off. maybe they are trying to find some more guys cuz there hasn't been a plow by here in a long time..

apparently cars are stuck on the hill which has blocked pinetree. cuz once you stop on the hill, you are fucked unless you have 4 wheel drive. but even then i heard there were trucks stuck.

what a mess!!

There was this stupid cop who pulled someone over ON the bridge... He was there for a long time too... When I finally passed him he had a good inch of snow on his FRONT windshield. The fucktard cause traffic to crawl. No to mention that he was at the top of the hill on the bridge. People were spinning their tires everywhere.......

However, after the stupid back up, it was smooth sailing. The hill after the bridge is not so bad if you built a nice head of steam before hand. I made up going around 50km.

[Harvey Specter]

I would stay away from Knight St, it's a huge mess right now.

[Skyliner]

more more more MORE!!!!

[Razor Ramon HG]

Can't believe how much snow came down in 2-3 hours.

[IMASA]

Was looking at the traffic cams, looks like someone's about to get pwned by the snow plow.

i have been in your situation before on cypress, but in all honesty, if the plows havent gone by, its compact snow with ice underneath, snow tires, winter tires, all seasons, nothing is going to stop your car if you are sliding downhill, period.

As for sidestreets and people stuck on it, its a good piss off when you know you can get by, but cant because people are blocking you

xmas eve, i was on a sidestreet off east 1st by renfrew and i had to push 2 people out of the way to get my car past them

i was pissed

anyone driving around in all season in this kinda weather is just fucking ignorant. Now dont get me started how great ur all season tires are, i experience the shitty ass brand new 912 or even made in italy Pirelle tires, same shit different day. with this amount of snow no all season will save you. Sure AWD/4x4 wont get stuck with all season, but when it comes to stopping and ur ABS pumping its the same shit.



drove home from surrey to coquitlam and i did not spot ONE fucking plow truck, fuck this

[hotjoint]

i fuckin hate this snow!
