fuck it's coming down pretty hard outside right now
:fuuuuu:

Driving in this morning at 6am from Burnaby to Vancouver wasn't bad, just traffic was slow with some ppl going well below the speed limit in both lanes :facepalm: if you're going to only go 30-40, stick to the right lane.

I think I'm gonna drop off my car at Kal-tire @ the mall, right when they open in the morning. If it takes a while, at least there's a lot of options to kill time.

Started sticking again here in south burnaby... fuckkkk....

meanwhile in montreal....

Watch buses, trucks and a police car collide in snowy Montreal | CTV News

holy shit...the pick up driver must've been shitting bricks when he saw that second bus coming in behind him

I was stuck on Canada way behind dumbasses driving 25kmph in the middle of both lanes. Was no way to get around them.... Once I got around a bend there were cars up on the sidewalk.

So far today 2 fire hydrants have been hit.... Can't wait to see what the rest of my day will be like!

what about the cop? all he saw was snowplow...

I got quite lucky. Headed to work around 7am. A bunch of buses were stuck taking up one lane. Maybe a car driving excessively slow in the only remaining lane left, but there was always a lane to safely weave through.

Encountered some guys that were driving pretty quick (relatively) so it was not bad. Got to work maybe only 10 mins later than usual.

Waited at the bus stop this morning for 3 buses that never showed. Said fuck it and told the office I'll work from home. Now I'm looking outside with the Clarkson smug face - solid call. It's coming down hard and sticking.

When your car has no traction or stability control, and has Falken Ziex 512s

Let's just say, I have zero traction unless I'm feathering the throttle :lawl: did some reverse donuts in an empty parking lot though

Staying home :alonehappy:

One of our site guys took 4 hours to get to work, Abbotsford to Kitsilano I'm assuming he left around 5am.

Let's all call it a day and go home.

Anyone up for football? Replay Ottawa and Edmonton CFL game?

anyone here in the north burnaby area? i'm wondering if it's still snowing and if i should leave work early because it's still dumping here in surrey :(

Live and work in North burnaby. Can confirm still shit storming outside

had those tires many years ago. worst snow performance ever... may as well be on slicks.

how about the roads... are the city crews still on break? :(

First winter having an awd beater ! The drive from Coquitlam to Langley (KPU) was fine for me this morning. I'm on a set of General Grabber AT that are at roughly 20%.Should've beat the rush... need tires asap.

The main roads look ok, saw a couple of city trucks plowing earlier today

someone on news1130 just posted this... note the timestamp on the dash clock. this is what treo calls "slush" falling from the pt. mann bridge:

it's also happening on the alex fraser bridge as well... someone here in the office said patullo is a mess. i'm trapped.

Holy shit... Would ICBC cover that or would you have to go after the city?

We don't take breaks ;)
Our roads guys have been working non stop

i wish you were around capitol hill at 5am today... or just all of hastings in north bby in general :(

this is from 2013:

Almost whiteout condition by BCIT in Burnaby.
Thick snow is falling pretty hard.
