Blasts from the past: Canada's worst snowstorms - Canada - CBC News

2008 was the last huge snow storm we got. Snowed for 4 days straight, literally shut down DT Vancouver.

u r right, i mixed up the R2 and WRG3. double checked today, and they are indeed the all weather WRG3 on the car.

even in today's icy side road conditions, i didnt get stuck or have traction issues unless im giving it a bit too much gas

The worst was 1998 for Vancouver at 130cm, as opposed to 109 cm in 2008.

2008 was the worst for eastern Canada.

Snowfall over the Last 25 Years (annual data) for Vancouver

There might be bigger ones before, but this website only goes back 25 years.


As for Lomac country,

I know it wouldn't be the same being an adult, but I would love to have a dumping like we had in 1996. I have such fond memories of that blizzard, as do many of you guys I'm sure.

ah I remember those days. It was awesome. I think that was the only time I got to use chains on the major roads driving around Vancouver. The roads were deserted and only thing on the road were lifted trucks and 4x4 or cars with chains.

Pretty sure buses do not have snow tires. For sure all the buses that were going up Hastings towards SFU.
The B-line tandams are the worse because it doesn't take much for them to jackknife.

My understanding is that it was designed to have heated cables, and Kiewit decided they weren't needed and left them out to save money.

Engineers aren't stupid.

i remember looking at the tires on the buses parked at the whalley loop and i did not see anything that said they were winter tires?

the last time i could recall transit buses chaining up was back around 1992-1992? i was trying to get from coquitlam to bcit and it took nearly 2 hours. by the time i got there i was 5 minutes into the the lecture i was already late for and bcit announced they were closing

Kiewit built some bridges in WA state and elsewhere iirc, the same styled bridges, and they all had the falling ice issue, yet those involved with our bridges here obviously didn't do their due diligence, or cared about it anyway

I thought Henrik Sedin was in New Jersey still, but it's obvious that he was helping push random strangers out of the snow in Vancouver.

Is there anything pro athletes can't do?

Don't forget the mashimoto tires, Motec exhaust, and 3 Spoon motors directly imported from Japan.
