I think that's the biggest factor. Another one might be cuz private school families can often arrange for or afford emergency childcare (or take a day off), whereas public school families have nowhere else to send their kids, or taking a day off is not an option.

16 days too early! :p

Take Skytrain home. I'll pick you up at Sperling station............ oh, wait, Surrey = never see your car again, lol.

I just drove out to Delta and back from Vancouver. Was loving the lack of traffic, until I hit the steep Oak/Granville area. Thought it was a bad idea (I needed to drive through the residential steep area in there) on my all seasons. Luckily they blocked off the really steep roads as there would be idiots who would attempt it. I just drove down there to see how the roads were. I got stuck pretty damn quick. Slicker then ice. Only thing that saved me getting back onto Broadway was the old manual traction control (Brake and gas). Took the main roads home and parked it. Will take EVO or Car2go if I need to get anywhere. Atleast they have winter tires i'd assume.

dammit. are you still at home? how many feet of snow are we talking about right now in north burnaby?

It's a blizzard in East Van now. Had to shovel the driveway twice and just gave up.

Renfrew and Grandview McD's wet snow coming down pretty good. Driving conditions are good.

Very light flurries in Langley.

Coming down hard in North Delta

tons of snow in downtown but slowing down a bit. still wet flurry

wow, everything is red and orange on Google maps traffic

Still snowing hard in Coquitlam

Update:
This is how it looks like at work in Coquitlam near Coquitlam Center as of 3:15pm

Medium-sized flakes coming down at the Langley Airport now, just as my gf heads out to work with little winter driving experience.

Still snowing in Queensborough

stopped in ricemond near ironwood

Starting and stopping in S Surrey. Snowing ATM. Decent flakes.

Stopped snowing. At Grand Villa. Damn, the place is full. Lol

Just spoke with a customer that works at the Richmond school board n that's the exact reason he gave me regarding closing public schools vs private schools.

Car2go have all-seasons. EVO have M+S rated all-seasons.

Any time I've used a rental vehicle in the winter ie Budget, they didn't have vehicles with snow tires. I haven't rented in almost a decade so perhaps that has changed.

Stopped snowing in North Van.. Roads are more wet/slushy. Anyone know what Burnaby is like at the moment?

Right before I got to my house there was an accident on Parker just west of Holdom in North Burnaby. Area has been shut down for about 1 1/2 hours and still no tow truck, just a fire truck and cop car.

Got some nicely buried inventory at work now. Snow day sale for y'all. :lawl:

Not seeing much snow on the roads near my work area...
Not sure what's everyone talking about...

Road is just lightly covered with a layer of snow.

Modo and Zipcar are the ones to look to for Winter Tires. Modo's got a huge fleet of winter tired cars.

soo, because I saw this video, just now on my way home I saw a guy that was stuck, so I stopped, got out of my car and helped to push him out of the ice patch that he was stuck on.


took literally 30 seconds but I hope I made his day.

I pulled my drivers off the road at 3pm because the roads were so bad in Coquitlam. Afaik, Westwood Lordco did the same. Left the rx parked at work, got it stuck in the middle of our lot trying to park closer to the door. Manager was standing on the front steps laughing at me (he hates imports).
