Get ready for a wet, wild winter.

We’re headed into a La Niña year the likes of which haven’t been seen since 1955, according to Washington state climatologist Nick Bond.

“It’s shaping up to be a lively one,” Bond said Thursday, before adding a typical forecaster’s warning.

“There’s really no guarantees. If you think of it like a card game with cold weather as the aces, this year there’s a few more aces in the deck.”

La Niñas occur when the ocean near the equator is cooler than usual.

Bond said temperatures for this time of year are the coldest since 1955, and the pattern could continue as we head into winter. Ocean temperatures affect air circulation, and cool air can lead to more rain and snow and colder temperatures.

While that doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed the worst winter on record, there’s certainly the potential for a bad one, says Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones.

“La Niña is like the cold cousin of El Niño,” Jones said. “The dice are loaded in favour of colder weather.”

There are many examples of La Niña years that received less snow than “neutral” years, but six out of the eight past La Niña years saw above-average rainfall between October and December and below average temperatures between January and March.

The Farmers’ Almanac is also predicting a cool year.

According to the 2010-11 forecast, “winter temperatures will be a bit below normal . . . with below-normal precipitation and above-normal snowfall.”

Bruce Fatkin, manager of the Langley Community Farmers’ Market, said local farmers might read the almanac, although it is with “tongue planted firmly in cheek.”

The record for the highest single-day snowfall in Vancouver came in 1996 when 41 cm fell on Dec. 29, smashing a record from 1916.

I have never spent more time shovelling snow my car out of snow and struggling to push it out. It was miraculous how I was still able to drive around everywhere with all-seasons. Thank god for my mom forcing me to keep a shovel in the car and good samaritans.

After reading this article, I'm gonna start searching for winter tires from the states. Anybody know of any deals? :D

I thought 2008 winter was bad..and I was living up in Kelowna back then too.

Well. i got a Subie now. Time to test my AWD and winter tires;)

[CorneringArtist]

I need tires since I have Ecsta ASX's on...last year I ran all-seasons with no trouble at all, just a bit of oversteer since my car at the time was RWD.

You'd be surprised... To be honest, if you don't get 'em siped, I'm not sure they'll be much better than my "all seasons."

I'm still contemplating whether I should raise my car up or not for this winter. That said, I should probably think about buying winter tires pretty soon as well... :lol

these tires are great in the snow, The Kevlar mtrs get awesome grip and good grip on the ice with 15psi. I have a couple buddys with them and they work awesome in the snow.


And I also have a rear locker which helps a bit as well.

I just ordered a set of 4 Nitto winters 205/55/16 for about $475 shipped to WA. I hope this goes through, cause the website wouldn't let me enter a Canadian billing address, so I had to make up a US one. They also sent me a blank confirmation email.

[ForbiddenX]

Hopefully my all season tires do fine. Never driven my car in the snow before, this'll be the first year. Will probably end up taking transit most of the time.

Also I hope transit is prepared for this, I remember in 2008 I'd be waiting for busses for like 1- 2 hours. It was just terrible :(.

The problem is when there's too much snow, many cars lift off the ground. At that point the world's best snow tires don't do you a lick of good. *sigh*

Anyone know if it's illegal to park your car overnight on a big street for days on end, if there are no signs saying otherwise? Might have to do that this year.

I've been careful as fuck on them since the rain started, gut feeling says that they might lose grip if they hit a deep puddle. They came with my Passat when I bought it (has aftermarket wheels), but I want something different if I opt for rota slips.

dude basically if a tire cant handle the rain, expect to handle 10 times worse in the snow.

912 and 512 both are myserable in the snow.

I had 912 two winter ago, used it for less than 2 months and the hell with it, sold it and got Conti winter tires and never look back.

you guys who have lowered rwd cars should pick up a $500 winter beater. There are a ton out there right now and it's better then having to worry every time you go out. just put insurance on it with no collision and you will save a bunch of cash on insurance as well.

What're you using as a rear locker? And what kind of ifs lift did you have on there?

If it's mostly a DD I would say a selectable locker such as a ARB or an electric but if you don't drive that much I would say a detroit which I had in my last truck and it was awesome. If you don't have the money to spend an Aussie locker is decent as well.

Basically money is what's holding me back and at $285 I can't argue with Aussie. ARB wold be lots of win though but can't afford that.

;););)

2 4x4's, both locked + 2 Bobcats w/ cabs and heat (773 and S250) should make up for the shitty year at work.

2 years ago my neighbor and his son made about 70K in 17 days, going almost 24/7, with 2 machines and a plow.

Hollaaa...

[GabAlmighty]

That's madness... Need a licence for those bobcats? If you need an extra hand on the weekends, let me know haha.

And what's RSUV?

[invader]

Nice! What brand is it how much did you pay?

Yamaha, its an auto though :( Just put it in drive and start ripping it.
The plow is really expensive, but i got both for under $5k.

[shift_rh]

got my subie rdy. bring on the snow!

[fliptuner]

You can learn to drive a skid steer in about 2 minutes but it takes a while to do it without killing your tires, attachments, lawns and your back and do it quickly. People tend to try to do things too fast when they're still green (operating any type of heavy equipment) but you want to focus on being smooth - slow is smooth, speed comes with time.

No license required since they're usually off the road - liability insurance just in case.

RSUV started on here when they started the 4x4 section.

[PDA_86]

Never tried my car in heavy snow yet, but I doubt I'll make it through if it was as rough as 2008.

At least my dad has a Toyota Highlander which may help on my way to work if anything goes wrong.

Worst case scenario, there's always a choice of public transit. It's not the end of the world.

[StylinRed]

2 years ago my neighbor and his son made about 70K in 17 days, going almost 24/7, with 2 machines and a plow.


holy shit i guess if you have the equipment or could rent it for cheap that aint bad at all (im assuming the 'machines' are pricey)

[JSALES]

i hope i'll be able to get out of the neighbourhood with the car i'll be driving, the snow was high and was scraping my undercarriage

[Euro7r]

Gonna find my shovel in my garage and get ready haha. 2008 was pissing, kept getting stuck in my back alleyway, ended having to walk/bus instead. The snow was too high that year.

[fliptuner]

IDK what plows are worth but a good used Bobcat S250 (loaded, under 5000 hrs), bucket w/ consumable blade and a trailer can be had for around $35K. Unlike a plow, it can make money year-round and the trailer can transport most vehicles.

Both his skid steers (Case brand, older models) and his trailer were probably worth under $50K.

[E-40six]

holy shit i guess if you have the equipment or could rent it for cheap that aint bad at all (im assuming the 'machines' are pricey)

If you are talking new, a S220 spec'd out for winter work is around 50-60K. A plow for a truck you're looking around 7-8k.

I dont need a trailer to haul around stuff, cause I can just load it into my Roll off and i'll be good to go

Yup, our S250 was $60K+, new with a cab, door, AC, 72" bucket, stick control and 2 speed. Actually, we got a 72" sweeper as well.

I have a 16' flatdeck and a rolloff bin truck (machine fits inside bin) but prefer the trailer in the winter, just in case the roads are bad or there are a lot of hills, since they're towed by 4x4's.

[KuSouL]

wonder how bad it'll get in toronto

[Nicotine]

[hotong]

[hotjoint]

[Spectre_Cdn]

wonder how bad it'll get in toronto

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think La Nina means Toronto will have a milder winter..

[lilaznviper]

^ thats what i heard too

[kristianhay]

Time to build an outdoor rink. 1st Annual Revscene Winter Classic anybody?

Haha, go to Gary Point in Steveston, they always freeze a huge area over and there are some good scrimmys that go down.

[Qasual]

What snow ?

[spoon.ek9]

this winter is an effing joke so far

[Derek_N84]

Probably the calm before the storm right now. Maybe Jan and Feb will be pretty bad?

[murd0c]

For us but in eastern canada and europe they have the worst winter from recent memory. Remember winter doesn't normally get bad until jan so hopefully we will still get a number of dumps this year.

worst winter prediction ever.

[The_AK]

/looks outside

yea, real spooky

[JSALES]

at least if the worst comes in january, there could be some school closures haha

[LiquidTurbo]

Huge ass winter snow, 2012, global warming, all the same stuff. I don't think Vancouver could snow so much that we couldn't deal with it. At most it only affects ppl a couple days a year. Seems like a huge waste of $$ to get snowtires in the Lower Mainland...

[rJZx]

^ but if you get into an accident without snow tires you are fucked....

[LiquidTurbo]

^ Fail.

[rJZx]

^ fail me i dare you to.

ICBC won't cover you damage if you don't have snow tires on during winter season or something like that.

Please stop spreading misinformation.


Driving without winter tires will not void your insurance in the event of a claim or mean that you are automatically at-fault for a crash. If you get in a crash where winter tires could have helped, it may be a deciding factor in determining whether or how much you are at-fault.

Technically, the first day of winter for us was only a few days ago. Typically, Vancouver get's most of it's snow fall in late January/February. Still lots of time for it to snow.

[JSALES]

yeah and once it snows a lot, everyone will start bitching because that was such a "rough winter" according to some people haha

[Volvo-brickster]

i thought i sealed the deal with no snow this winter by spending $ with chains and an emergency shovel lol

so far so good !

[shenmecar]

RAIN!

[RevRav]

Wasn't the original news...something like worst winter in 55 years for BC. Then worst winter in 500 years for Europe? At least the latter part came true.... :p

[murd0c]

I just want snow since I get snow days at work :p

[hotong]

no snow days for ubc :(

[keifun]

I just remembered 2008 winter. That was pretty crappy. Living in both Vancouver and Kelowna at the time, everyday I saw snow until it started melting away around March

[GabAlmighty]

I remember 2008 and it was so brutal and that's what I would call the worst winter in recent memory.

Just another fear-mongering stories to sell more winter tires. Somebody at Province definitely got paid off.

[adambomb]

This has been one of the worst winters on record... just not in Vancouver.


Imagine christmas dinner in an cramped airport with cheese and crackers, 7up in a paper cup and NO LOBSTER! NO LOBSTER AT ALL!!
Some people will remember this as the worse winter ever.

Ya right. Winter just started. Fall dosen't count.

Did anyone watch the news today about the snow at Mt. Washington? 2 meters in the last 48 hours. Mountian snow base is the most in the world at 5 meters and the snow is getting half way up the second story on some buildings.

[k3lv]

^ thats fucked!

[Euro7r]

Looks like some sunny weather for this week. Better than stupid rain.

[corollagtSr5]

Only to be followed by another week of rain.
