If the weather forecast is correct, this coming Friday Jan 6 to Jan 10 we are getting a good dumping of snow. Depending on how bad Vancouver just might shut down lol

Holy fuck. SB Oak Street Bridge has some ENORMOUS potholes. It's freakin ridiculous, cars have to come to an almost complete stop to get over them. There's like 5 or 6 all on one side SB. Is this a result of the plows or what the hell is causing these

I think the repeated process of melting snow, water getting into cracks and freezing is what causes potholes. And a bridge deck is especially vulnerable because it has no insulation from beneath (unlike a regular road).

Driving isn't all that bad here in north Van but holy fuck, walking is treacherous. I made it from the peak of a foot bridge to the bottom without taking a single step. Just grabbed the railing and slid.

I'm so glad I spent a grand total of ten minutes to shovel the slush off the sidewalk and apply some salt last night. Today, my neighbours were spending hours trying to get ice off their sidewalks. One neighbour, after three hours got half his sidewalks done. The power of ice melt. Godwin would have been proud of me. I timed it well. My sidewalk is bone dry.

Ditto i spent the time last night shoveling my sidewalks, walking paths around house, driveway, and part of the alley and spent about an hour doing so. Easily would have taken me twice the time today, fuck new years.

Yeah, my backyard neighbour always shovels the alley because his triple car garage is on a slope and if it ain't cleared up, he's basically screwed. Well, he was not home last night and it was left as is. He was out there all morning and half way into the afternoon today when he just gave up.
His driveway is just off a bit from mine, so I always come home to a nicely shovelled alley way. I did shovel as much as I could for him last night, but didn't salt the alley way. My driveway is relatively flat, so I'm not worried. Next time, I will be more diligent and do a better job. My neighbours are gold. We all look out for one another. I let him down last night........... never again!

Driving home from the ferry tonight I was getting pretty annoyed having to dodge all the ice missiles from people who didn't clear the snow off their cars before heading out.
or install a heat pump home heating system.. I noticed that at quite a few renoed houses in the burbs.. I guess it make more sense than the west side.
Basicaly they drill holes underneath the driveway to pump water to heat / cool the house.. the added advantage is no frozen driveway!! (you still need to clear the side walks).
Now Amazon seems to think I need a snow thrower! I never know there are track driven snowblowers!!

At least use a torch and then salt, lol. Actually, a torch won't help much unless you have one of them thingamajigs Mission Raceway has, Gulolol.
