COV prep the roads well overnight. Roads are not bad at all. Don't know why Vancouver has to shut down at all.

Drove my wife to work, roads were in meh condition, Highway 1 had no lines visible, same with 152. Lots of drivers doing dumb things in Surrey and on the way to Metrotown as well. Central Boulevard looked unplowed, it was pretty bad.

I'm still getting used to the workflow. Remembering to remain the chute is the main issue. I forgot at one point and sprayed a bunch of snow into my garage lol.

If your car was there before the snow fell it should not move. Hope you turned your wheels correctly!

Just shoveled the sidewalk and its more than 20cm it seems. At least it's the light fluffy stuff. It's snowing hard enough that it's getting covered right away.

Easier on your back now than later if it does warm up a bit. Also less stuff to shovel each time if you break it up
