I was reading the comments on Reddit and someone said that those vehicles needed the speed in order to make it over the hill or risk getting stuck and sliding back down. It doesn't look like much of a hill to me, but indeed you do need momentum on snow/ice covered hills. They should have had signs and cones laid out over that hill and in front of the truck as well, with sign people to control traffic.

It's unfortunate, but most people in society do what is told of them and no more. The workers stated that they only need 1 cone per 10 mph, so that is what they put out, no more no less. Unfortunately, the majority of society has very limited critical thinking skills and do not know how to apply them on a daily basis. Yes, your manual says to lay out a certain number of cones, but obviously you are a hazard for incoming traffic and should be considering geographic and weather conditions.

given that comcast is already one of the most hated companies, this isnt going to help.

even with their lack of concern for others, what kind of moron would go up in a bucket truck while thats happening, theyre lucky people are hitting the ditch instead of them. if i fucked up that bad at work i could be held personally liable. this is what happens when you get poorly paid and poorly trained people

im sure the news/comcast/OSHA will be all over this.

Grouse looked as pretty as it's ever looked last night around 4pm. Wish I had my DSLR I pulled over and found a park to take a picture because it was so nice

I was at YVR early this morning. The mountains and sky looked absolutely spectacular.

lots of ice salt available in stores now

Stock up, cause we got more snow coming this weekend.

road up cypress OK this past week? thinking of going sunday after a fresh dump

When you gotta buy car parts from someone living in Chilliwack and had to reschedule to an earlier date so you wouldn't be stuck in the snow :badpokerface:

100% clear, was just fine. Edit: though if you plan on going after the snow, then I have no idea

Forecasts outside of 3 days are unreliable at best. They're probably just taking the average temps for anything past Sunday.

Does anyone know if 7 11 still sells lift tickets for cypress?

I don't think they sell cypress tickets at 7/11 anymore.

I heard Costco has $100 Cypress gift card for $75.

If you go to Cypress website, they have some daily promos. If you're lucky, you could hit a cheap lift ticket day (usually a weekday).

Last i checked weather network, it was forcasting 20-30cms of snow.

Has anyone been using their block heaters, how long do you leave them plugged in for?

Excellent

We might actually get a white Christmas

You leave it plugged in as long as the car is outside? That's what people do on the other side of the rockies.

Depends on the age of your car, you might want to trickle charge your battery too.

Diesel's been plugged in overnight. Gas cars haven't.

I've been loving the sun but can't wait for rain and milder temps...

I have an outdoor timer, I set it to come on about 2 hours before I leave for work.
