It's not even a lot of snow this morning but traffic was at a stand still in front of the PNE. Cars with all-season tires coming to a stop on the hill for the lights can't get going again. I have Nokiaan all-weather tires on my truck and had no problems starting or stopping.

More snow expected around the Lower Mainland tonight
Several centimetres predicted

Snowy weather makes for messy morning commute
News1130 Storm Centre
LOWER MAINLAND (NEWS1130) - Winter isn't here yet but the winter weather is.

The morning commute has been a mess, thanks to snow falling in many places around the Lower Mainland.

"We knew this was coming; it was raining yesterday... we figured the cold air would leak down off the mountains," explains News1130 Meteorologist Russ Lacate. "It did -- we had some hail in the afternoon drive yesterday. It gradually changed to snowflakes late at night as the temperature dropped down to zero."

He expects the flurries and slushy showers to taper off today. "But tonight, a major winter storm will be closing in. Easterly winds climb to 50 km/hr, the temperature falls back down to zero, and snow will spread ashore throughout tonight, accumulating several centimetres."

Perfect storm for some open differential drifting.

Some businesses might actually make more money because of the snow. -can see some Vancouverites do a Costco run for snow shovels or winter tires. :considered:

I plan on taking transit if it snows anymore than today, G35 owner here..I have brand new all season..had to turn off vdc and avoid all hills lol.

icemiko 12-18-2012 03:04 PM
Took 3 hrs to get from Coquitlam to Richmond this morning. All the roads in Coquitlam was covered in ice and not plowed. Saw lots of cars with all seasons stuck trying to go up hills. :failed:

Harvey Specter 12-18-2012 03:07 PM
My A5 absolutely loves the snow, it's such a joy to drive in this weather.

cbc just said up to 20cm could fall tonight

Spectre_Cdn 12-18-2012 04:07 PM
Environment Canada saids 5cm tonight and 5-10cm tomorrow. 20cm is probably for the valley.

AW607 12-18-2012 04:39 PM
It's cleared up quite a bit in Richmond though... I'm skeptical about snow :suspicious:

Seriously, if you're going to be cheap or lazy to get snow tires, take a cab or transit when it snows and stay off the roads getting in everyone elses way.
low temp rated all season radials + 4X4 = no problems

i used to drive my civic with all seasons on it everywhere in the snow with absolutely no problem, FWD = a dream in the snow

it's idiots who cant drive that are the problem, i saw a chick today turning onto the freeway at 160th who had litteral TERROR on her face as she moved forward, seeing her on the road scared me, not the condiitons.

It was clear last night in Vancouver too. And look how that turned out overnight.

european 12-18-2012 05:11 PM
My German Shepherd loves the snow. I'm sure many other dogs love the snow as well. Anyone got snow pics? Mine didn't turn out. iphone too slow to snap photos of my dog running around like a nutcase. hah.

twitchyzero 12-18-2012 05:45 PM
it's expected to be mixed with rain...i'll predict 5cm max tmr morning in the vancouver proper
