Salt helps prevent, but once it starts snowing you really cant keep up with it, if it snows decently for 4+ hours. The problem is always the same, traffic builds up because people are unprepared/conditions just aren't good for driving. We have a lot of hills and when it ices its difficult even for snow tires. Then when the congestion starts the plows cant keep up with the demand due to the accidents and everyone blocking traffic.

If you're throwing down salt while its snowing hard, you're just wasting resources.

So is tomorrow going to be fukked or what? Is everything going to be ice?

It's gonna be fucked for like 4 days looking at the forecast.

The salt trucks should be out in force tonight, it should be clear by tmr morning commute time so I'm not terribly worried. Just the idiots who crashed or left their cars behind will need to go clean up. Most of them probably would have ended up in the tow yard.

My drive home from Delta to Langley was fine the streets are bone dry here I guess this side of the Fraser lucked out

Bring it old man winter !!! You call this a snow storm ?!??

The snow isn't a big deal

But with the really low temperatures, roads that are untreated are an ice rink, especially around the Metrotown area.

Yeah that's just COV ineptitude. Our green bins are on reduced schedules again till March. You'd think the manpower would go to more prep for brining the streets but no, it's the same story the first snowfall of the year.
Guarantee that in the morning, a COV spokesperson will say, " the timing and suddenness caught us off guard and we were prioritizing the major (westside, b/c east van poors can go eat a dick) routes."

I don't know about you guys, but I rode my bicycle home just fine. Lol. I am just kidding.

I left work at 7:05pm .... my uasual time home will be 7:30.... I parked my car at 9:01pm

And that is me constantly passing people on the right hand lane... I cant imagine what time I will get home if I just "stuck to the traffic flow"...

Going 5km/hr isn't gonna help you... foook...

Honestly people..... wtf

The bike lanes got plowed and brined first again?

I wish it was only snow. Unfortunately, the real issue was the ice build up.

Also, I realized this storm was a good example of what happens when like 80% of the region north of the fraser all leave work at the same time. Clearly our roads can handle the population density :derp:

That last picture looks like a skating rink!

The car's completely stopped on the highway and it just slides sideways into the other car.

Premiums have entered the chat

Was supposed to be in Calgary for meetings this week. Thank goodness my travel plans got pushed out to the end of the month. But even then... :inoutugh: :pokerface:

Good luck everyone else !!! If you guys are heading into work today lawl.

I’d call in a sick day or some shit. No point in getting your rides smashed up by idiots

Working from home on Thursday and today on my hybrid work schedule is awesome. Avoid the chaotic ice show on the roads.

roads are bare today except for side streets :lawl:

If you work from home, do you still call in sick? :troll:

Something to do with your kids if you’re stuck at home during this cold snap.


Note: It has to be colder than -10 Celsius to work.

our 7.5% property tax increase went to... oh wait nm... :okay:
