This. Is. Horseshit.

Bring it motherfucker!!!!! Show me what you got.

Looking forward to the ensuing clusterfuck that will be the Lower Mainland.

lol news1130 telling people to take a long weekend

1-3 centimeters

The rest of Canada is looking at us with embarrassment

Tip: Wait until your windshield is warm before driving. I had to pull over this morning because even though my windshield was clear, it collected moisture as I drove and frosted over. Wiper fluid makes it worse.

Winter wiper fluid (water-propylene glycol-detergent mix) should definitely not make it worse. Winter wiper fluid generally won't freeze until -35°C or colder. Even a 2:1 water:PG ratio is good down to -18°C.

If you have summer wiper fluid or a mix of summer/winter wiper fluid, then yeah, it'll probably make things worse as it crystallizes on your windshield.

I'm using a winter fluid that's good for -39 but that's only to prevent it from freezing in the tank. Once it's sprayed on the windshield, the alcohol quickly evaporates leaving behind water that freezes.

go buy some glass treatment like Aquapel and don't have to deal with this again.

lol, Aquapel is all I use along with silicone wipers.

That’s not how glycol works.

You're correct, glycol would turn thick in the cold and clog lines. That's why most wiper fluids don't use it. Most wiper fluids use methanol. Glycols are used mainly for coolants and antifreeze.

2cms, oh no!

Saw CoV trucks driving around East Van spraying some sort of liquid de-icer all over the small streets in and around a few condos.

Go down to seattle.

Should be a huge snowstorm starting later today and all of tomorrow. 8-12 inches.

On CNN homepage right now.

Needs to be 10+ cm so those of us with snow tires can have some fun in the snow LUL

You must not have a big driveway + 100’ of sidewalk to shovel :okay:

sorry i have no pity for you only because i park on the street and i will have to excavate my car after the snowplow buries it... no one wins :cry:

This is the absolute opposite of what you should be doing. If it's cold enough you put your heat on the floor NOT on defrost. Keep your Windshield frozen and then the snow won't melt when it hits it and consequently freeze after it melts. You should be keeping your cab just warm enough to not be cold and keep the front Window frozen. When you do this the snow flakes will just blow over the car.

Berz out.

I love my EV. As long as it’s plugged in, I can remote heat the whole car. In ten minutes, all windows, except rear (for some unknown reason) is dry and toasty. When it snows, it takes a little longer.

My car has heating elements in the front for the wipers tied to the rear defroster and heated mirrors. Those elements will heat up a good third of the windshield. A lot of cars wouldn't be able to do what you're suggesting if the driver intends to use the rear defroster. I also don't want to be in a position where I need to wash dirt/salt off the windshield only to have it frosted over a few seconds later.

Something change? cuz for the longest time cov never did any side streets. They only focus on the main streets.

My office just sent out a notice that we're closed tomorrow. Yay for being Lower Mainland pussies! I'm gonna drink beer and play video games.

:badpokerface: that liquid lets me drift into work gymkhana style everyday

But on the other hand, when temp dips, your capacity/range goes down as well, no?
