We got a shit load here on the island, 10-12 inches overnight. This first pic was from this morning about 30 minutes AFTER I had cleaned all the snow off my lude. 
And then later in the day once it finally stopped snowing.  | |

That looks like the corner of W. 41st and Manitoba, with the TL. It's not there anymore, btw.

Picked up 3 friends last night and we drove around Richmond/Burnaby/Vancouver last night.
Richmond was by far worse then Burnaby and Vancouver.
Saw a grey or black R32 GT-R with the front end damaged near the Tim Horton's on Bridgeport. The owner had abandoned the car and put the front bumper in the car, leaving the passenger side window open.
Tons of cars at Lansdowne snow drifting. Left there around 3:30am with snow plows coming in and cops on the Earl's Lansdowne side stopping people. lol.
Most serious accident I saw was the aftermath of a TSX sitting in the ditch, nose down, rear end in the rear... on Knight St. Southbound after the bridgeport exit. Hope that driver is okay.

I dont' remember it being -10 or so.
Tomorrow is going to be around -5 to -8...
Seems like even when it's sunny, it's not a good day to go out  | |

Everyone said that the coldest time so I'm going to experience it. Good thing that the work place is a 5 minute walk from the hotel
