If you can't find salt, use kitty litter. It won't melt snow/ice but it will provide plenty of traction.

SNOW!!!!!!
 

Just checked Home Depot (Richmond) and Iron Wood Canadian Tire, both locations are out of salt and will be in by next week.

Good thing I bought two bags a couple of years back!

Special weather notice has ended...guess there isn't going to be as much as they predicted.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ^

inb4 its rain overnight and through the weekend

Source? I can't seem to find anything on it (nor can I find anything regarding a special weather advisory).

Edit: Snowfall warning just put in effect
seems like the forecasted snowfall decreasing with time though

If weather predictions fail one more time after this, they better prepare riot gear instead of snow gear.

That's unbelievable, if Alex Fraser closes ... maybe Port Mann will too, get ready for a gong show. Call in sick on Friday people! Is Vancouver the only city with bridges that have snow? What do other city with bridges do?

2 to 4 cm of snow expected tonight. Up to 5 to 7 cm tomorrow. Could really add up.

i like your numbers better, but according to what 604_boi posted above...

i'm from north burnaby, which pretty much follows SFU's weather forecasts... guess which one i'm expecting :cry:

I'm hoping that since the bulk of the snow is supposed to happen overnight and into tomorrow morning, that a lot of people will just take a 3day weekend.

I just wish the people who aren't comfortable driving in snow, and the people who's cars clearly aren't winter/snow ready, stay the fuck off the roads.

Just checked Petsmart.ca website, the inventory says available today for pickup at Vancouver 2nd Avenue, Metrotown, BBY Marine Way, Port Coquitlam and Richmond stores. Sold out at Grandview Highway and North Van stores.

I hope to be one of these people. My cul de sac is already a challenge to get out of.

Unless you work in the snow tire industry ... take a 'sick' day everyone! :cool:

i sitll dont have my timberlands! my feet are slipping everywhere i step in ice

Picked up a used set of snow tire chains to use with my M+S tires, I'm ready for you snow

Boooo... I've had to OT every single day so far :(

Heard on the radio you can use pickling salt as well and it can be bought in some grocery stores...

Apparently cheap but I've never shopped for it so can't confirm where or how much.

About 12 jugs of Ice Melt left at Petsmart in Richmond... 4kg bottle for $10.50 I believe. Not cheap but will do the job as most places are sold out.

One thing to keep in mind with salt, is that it can harm some concrete surfaces. Which is why I used to use kitty litter. A straw broom can also do a good job of clearing snow beyond what a shovel can remove.

I love my spring action ice chipper. Bought it on clearance at some liquidation place ten years ago. Never used it till now.

is it me or is he putting the car back into gear too quickly after each time he reverses..

The American weather models say rain.
