Alerts for: Metro Vancouver
Warnings

Metro Vancouver
10:49 AM PST Monday 24 February 2014
Snowfall warning for
Metro Vancouver continued

5 to 15 cm of snow is forecast for today.

This is a warning that significant snowfall is occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

Another Pacific frontal system will move across the South Coast today and produce more snow over the region. Over East Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands a total of 10 to 15 cm of snow is expected today while over remaining regions 5 to 10 cm of accumulation is expected. Late this afternoon or early this evening milder Pacific air will invade and cause the snow to change over to rain in most areas. During the change over localized freezing rain is possible over the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley.

We got about 6" here and still falling at a decent rate. It's pretty warm (5 degrees), so it may turn to rain at some point.

My GF just sent me a pic from her place in Shawnigan Lake and she's got what looks like a foot of snow there, could only get halfway up the driveway because her front bumper was acting as a plow.

Snow shovels have been on sale the last couple of weeks. Can't remember where it was, but 70% off. I was like, yes! It snows into April......... or should I say, it's been known to snow in April. Latest I've seen is the merry month of May.

Those who go to Mission Raceway will remember that.

Anyway, bet the shovels are back to regular price. Good thing I bought one of those really expensive ergonomic ones when the Rona in Abbotsford went belly up. 80% off. For those of you who still use the old design shovels, these ergo ones are really, really good. Save your back and go get the nice ones.

I went to seattle sunday morning. hope the snow will clear up by tonight ... nope got worst.. I miss the rain down there!....and within 5 minutes while driving back...saw 5 cars in ditches.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Metro Vancouver.

Between five and 10 centimetres is expected tonight, with another five to 15 centimetres possible tomorrow.

The hardest hit areas will likely be inland and higher elevations.

There is also the risk of freezing rain over inland sections of the Fraser Valley.

Crews are already out getting the roads ready.

Alas, it is their money to spend how they please. I just don't see the justification. We drive the crew truck on actual ICE roads with all seasons and don't have any problems. Studded snowies are pretty pointless out here when we don't get any ice on the ground. Snow tires, sure, pretty smart investment if you're doing trips to the mountian and interior but in my humble opinion I think studded snowies are a complete waste of time and money out here. Plus, they wreck the roads over time.

girl wants to go there today but area looked like a mess this morning on the news.

[donjalapeno]

finally my winter tires got a workout

[m3thods]

Anyone notice the plows (at least in Burnaby) having green lasers shooting from them doing what appeared to be looking for the lane lines? It looked like a rave along Lougheed between Sperling and Bainbridge lol

[jjson]

to the owner of the 370z who abandoned their ride on Hythe Ave/Hastings st. in the middle of the road last night... come and get your car before the plow gets it :(

Still saw that 350z parked there as of this morning at 11:30 lol

[Vansterdam]

need more snow for snowbong lol

[TjAlmeida]

Drive safe guys... Car crashed on hwy near exit 40.. Happened right beside me and debris flew onto my car fuuu

Not familiar which exit is number 40 but was that the accident between gaglardi and brunette? Looked pretty bad when I drove by at 1230ish. Hope the guy in that car is alright.

Maybe 2" of snow in Port coquitlam.

Freaking some people on the highway doing 75 in the hov lane dabbing the brakes for no reason. I don't know what is more dangerous, the fucks going 75 touching their brakes all the time, or the ice.

Was it a 350z? Oops... could not tell it was semi buried and up against the island. Could not tell if it slid all the way down the hill or jumped the island :o

Saw about 6+ bmw stuck at sfu last night. Not sure why they even try to go up some of the hills.

Every year when it snows, it's the same shit.
BMW's, Mercs, Volvo's, and some FWD cars.

Honestly, the police should park outside of the Kinder Morgan protest site and their usual spot on Gallardi and check all cars if they are equipped with winter tires before allowing them up to SFU.

In years past, all those cars stuck at the stop sign just after the round about would kill me but this year I was able to drive up the back round to go home and to go out.

i do not get what is with many bmw drivers and their aversion to getting winter tires... put on the right shoes for the weather and a bmw can do anything in the white stuff.

If it was with a grey/silver mazda CX-5 and green pontiac then yes it was. Person just kept going in the mazda which I think was because he was blinded by the sun as it was rising around 8:00am.

hwy 91 off ramp into hwy 99 was closed at 8:30am...i had to take a significant detour to get to south surrey and according to my colleague it was still closed at 1pm :suspicious:

you mean turning left at Shell after 91 ends, turn left at Westminster, and then onramp back onto the 99? :suspicious:

Because you can't 'show off' winter tires. If winter tires have a unmissable gigantic bmw branding on it, then they would get it.

[twitchyzero]

no, where 91 ends at boundary bay in between surrey and delta
ended up taking hwy 10 then king george to get back onto hwy 99...looking at the map it's not as a big of a detour as i intially thought :concentrate:

according to the government, any all season tire with M+S on the tires and more than 4/32 of tread is considered good enough as a winter tire, no need for the mountain snowflake rating anymore, no need to keep chains in your vehicle anymore

Most of the time its because they are too fucking broke. Its like the vancouver guide to being the 30k millionaire.
Lease brand new base model 3 series BMW (must be white)
Rent yaletown shoebox
$600 a week coke habit
Maxed credit cards on designer clothing at holt renfrew
No money for winter tires in the budget

[Klobbersaurus]

that used to be the case but not anymore, u can have m+s tires as long as they are in good shape and you drive carefully

Shift into Winter: The Inside Scoop on Winter Tires and Chains | TranBC (http://tranbc.ca/2014/10/01/shift-into-winter-the-inside-scoop-on-winter-tires/)

i sell tires so i've had alot of customers debating.. to the point i've just given up and sell them all seasons and tell them they should hope they dont get turned around or cause a collision

[Lomac]

Frankly, I wouldn't use anything but proper winter tires on most of the Interior highways anyway. Hwy 1/3/5/97 all experience heavy snow dumps at some point during the winter months and even the best snowflake rated tire can have problems getting up some of the hills.

[snails]

the cold weather finally affected the cars today around my area.

doors/locks frozen shut and street is still a sheet of ice

so i grabbed some grease/oil in a container and wiped it inside the door and around the complete exterior in both mine and the gf's car. oiled up the keys and penetrated the fck out if the keyholes... nice and loose now ;)

i read somewhere that shaving cream works well for windows fogging up, so i gave that a try on the gf's crx as they are notorious for fogging up (will update tomorrow if it worked)

and thru my x-ice setup on her car and salted half my street because the city of surrey didnt give even a single fuck about doing that

Cheap fucks, that's why. My 7 was a tank in the snow, I went everywhere with it:

is anyone else procrastinating with putting on their snow tires due to the warm dry weather so far? Still haven't installed mine yet, wonder if good idea to do it during this holiday break.

[fliptuner]

If one was going to swap to snows, it should've been done before that cold snap we had last month after it snowed. If you don't want to go by the sub-7*C rule of thumb and don't go up the mountains, it's not supposed to get much colder over the next month.

Might be a good time to get it done now. Supposed to be a cold week coming up.

BC coast bracing for cold arctic air | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2014/12/27/bc-coast-bracing-for-cold-arctic-air/)

FRASER VALLEY (NEWS1130) – Grab a sweater, some mittens and bundle up, it is about to get really cold. Environment Canada says the BC coast will be hit with a strong ridge of high pressure resulting in cold arctic air starting Sunday morning.
That ridge will spread quickly, dropping temperatures down five to 10 degrees below normal by Monday.
This warning also affects the Fraser Valley.
The freezing conditions are expected to stick around all week with a chance of wet flurries by Friday.

Time to cruise like crazy before putting my car away again :okay:

if you have them then put them on, if you don't have them then fug it.

[Euro7r]

Too lazy like some of you guys to put on snow tires. I'm going to sell my winter setup as I seldom drive in the winter and I drive only on "warmer" days. Not making good use of my winter tires I purchased. Only used for 2 seasons with 4000km (3 years old tires) :pokerface:.

wow. mine were on before that last little snowfall the other month we had...

[inv4zn]

^Mine too...

What's the point of even having a separate set of winter tires if you're "too lazy" to put them on when it's cold..?

[thumper]

the common reasoning i'm usually given when asked is that they don't want to wear them out, and only put them on when snow is forecast or a trip to the mountains is planned.

[inv4zn]

To which you should tell them tires deteriorate with time...

Driveability isn't just a function of treadwear.

Semi-related, the Carrera GT that Paul Walker was in when he died apparently had 9 year old tires.

[fliptuner]

Crazy black ice at higher elevations/bridge decks and extremely foggy in the low areas.

Be safe out there.

Black ice on the S2S and the highway is shut in both directions around Lion's Bay. Slow down, put those snow tires on.
