So glad I left my car at home today. The roads were an absolute mess after work =/

[ImportPsycho]

Not again on the Canada Line..Twice back on Friday and then today too...

Translink is seriously a joke.
I was at Bridgeport on Friday at 6pm when C-line went down.
Lot of confusion and was chaotic, Their twitter said shuttles are in place but no one know where to line up. Took them 1 hour to put in first shuttle bus, then everyone just bum rushed the bus, like people fleeing war zone.
no line up or no transit personal organizing it.
Took me almost 2 hours to get on a shuttle.

I decided to drive to work today, oh thank god!

I work in the industry and I've seen enough since the last snow fall. Any shop worth a damn is probably so overloaded and turning away jobs left right and center
Summer are the busiest months anyhow :)

Anyone in East Vancouver (east broadway area) with some jumper cables that could help me out with a jump start either tonight or tomorrow? Battery died while I was clearing the driveway of snow. Should only take a couple minutes.

PM me and thanks in advance

stupid question so please feel free to fail

going up a hill/getting stuck do you want to be in a higher gear to avoid wheelspin? I've been reading conflicting tips...higher to reduce torque...lower to have better traction. tried both and when I'm going up the slightest incline on my backalley I either start spinning like an idiot or i'm hitting like 5500rpm...burning almost as much rubber as when I go autocross :derp:

I've always been taught to use 2nd in snow. Not sure if FWD vs RWD matters or not. But I know 2nd vs using drive was much easier for me in an auto.

[GS8]

So this was my commute home tonight:

At 6pm, I get to the Olympic Village Station on the Canada Line. I can see two trains with open doors on both sides of the platform with a fuck ton of people standing around. Great, here we go again.

After standing around the platform for awhile, I hear Translink control telling everyone of the delay. They're only broadcasting it through the train speakers and not the platform speakers. It wasn't until some 15 min after I heard the first message did I hear the announcement over the platform speaker. By then, though, the message had already been repeated multiple times in the trains themselves.

Some more waiting and I see the ETA screens change. Instead of saying Richmond-Brighouse or YVR Airport, it now says Oakridge-41st with a scrolling text saying the trains will run as far as Oakridge. I saw this message displayed for another 15 minutes before Command Central announced they would only run the trains as far as Oakridge.

Thanks tips.

(This was the last time command central would talk to us. From here they only ran the generic 'Canada Line is experiencing delays' message).

I was constantly checking the News 1130 Twitter page and they had stated that Translink set up a bus bridge at Oakrige that would take us to Bridgeport. I was thinking 'great, they're on the ball now'.

So eventually the trains start running but due to the queue of people, every time a train stopped at Olympic Village, I'd say about only 3 people were able to fit on the train. I said fuck it and got on the Waterfront bound train and just stayed on it till it reversed course. Still no updates from Command Central.

So after more waiting at each station, I eventually got to Oakridge where we all had to disembark. There was only one green jacket there and he said we had to go downstairs and cross 41st and wait on the other side for the Bus. An older gentleman yelled 'how do I get to Marine?' to which the green jacket replied with the same reply. At least it filled me with confidence that I knew where I had to be to meet the bus.

So I cross the street and already see a huge lineup of people waiting at a stop. Figured this had to be it. A woman asked me if this is where we board the Bridgeport bus. I told her yes as I remembered what the green jacket said.

After almost 2 dozen NIS buses drive by, one eventually pulls over. I thought 'finally, I can get home'. The Bus pulls to the side and the driver starts hurrying everyone in. The same woman in front of me asked if this was Richmond bound the driver just said 'I'm going as far as Dunbar. If you don't know where that is, you'll know once I make that turn'.

lolwut

I just waited for the bus to pass Oak but I couldn't get off till Granville because idiots wouldn't let me off the bus.

Rather than lose my cool like I did on Friday, I went to call a cab. By sheer luck, I saw a cab waiting at the intersection of Granville and 41st with the light on. Ran over through deep fucking curb snow because the light was about to turn green. I knocked on his window and said 'take me to Lansdowne mall'. He did.

Cab ride was $21 before tip. I did not care. I was just happy to be home. I can recoup that loss easy. Took me 2.5 hours to get home. Would've been longer had I relied completely on Translink.

Translink did a shit poor ass job communicating anything. I don't even know if the bus bridge at Oakridge even happened?

Translink was stating via command central that there was a problem car near Marine Drive. News 1130 reported the issue was actually on the Bridge itself. You know, like what fucking happened on Friday. So they either half assed fixed the issue on Friday or it was a fresh issue on the same structure. Like we'll ever fucking know.

Fuck Translink. If Corporations are people, then Translink is Scumbag Steve.

Finally dug my car up after it was submerged in a foot of snow... car wash tomorrow morning. And again in the afternoon.

[RiceIntegraRS]

I was wondering if my G35 could make it home from Surrey to Van on Winters cause i was slipping and sliding on the flat roads of 88ave and 128th when it was snowing heavily. Just manage to make it home in 2hrs. Incase your wondering about HWY91 there was a semi stuck just before the Alex Fraser which basically stopped all traffic while morons in the left lane deciding to stop and not pass while it was clear to do so.

[Oshiguru]

City plowed my side street (for the first time) this morning before I left for work. Got back home at 9pm and the snow/slush is up to the bottom of my door. Got stuck on my steep hill until I dropped my tire pressures and used more speed :(

Pretty bad up here but curious to see what tomorrow looks like

SkyTrain had no problems, the Canada Line on the other hand...

The grade of the bridge over the Fraser is too steep for the traditional motors of the Canada Line cars to the point where de-icing AND sand is needed for traction.

http://i.imgur.com/h3K1pMT.jpg
This is fault in design and operation, from day one the provincial government and Protransbc have been cutting corners. TransLink for all its faults is not the fault here.

left work on dawson st in burnaby at 5:20pm in a carpool. We got as far as cariboo/stormont (where the rcmp detachment is) and it was 6:40pm and we werent moving a dam bit. Told my friend let me off ill walk home from here while she turns right towards the hwy where she wanted to go (45min walk the other way for me)

As i go up cariboo rd, 3 buses are stuck and about 6 cars have pulled over blocking the right lane as they cant make it. I see this older c300 in the front of the line just barely making its way up as its slipping and sliding ALL over. Figured i would be nice guy and help. End up pushing the dam car all the way up cariboo to 16th as she tries her best to burn as much tire as possible on the way up :pokerface:

Don't get why she ever attempted this...but i was glad i did something nice for someone random, it's been a while. No one else was helping and figured i could help the rest of the 15 cars that were behind her who would have had to wait forever lol in the end i got home at 7:50pm , so about a 2hr 30min commute home today and my sneakers and socks were soaked :noyoudidnt:

41st and knight was just a mess. lots of buses stuck because of one bus that jack knifed and blocked all whole road

[stewie]

Hopefully people will learn from a few weeks ago:


- Don't shovel the snow onto the road or even to the curb. If you do, you most likely won't be able to park beside it and end up 3ft from the curb. If our snow plows think there's a chance they might hit a car on a side st they will NOT even attempt to plow your street. Main roads get done first so your st might not even get plowed period.

- Don't cover the catch basin

- You're liable if someone slips on the sidewalk in front of your house, so clear it off. It's a bylaw.

- If you need to go down an alley to park in your yard/garage, clean the entire road in front of your property, it'll make a huge difference and you'll be happy you did.
I cleaned the entire alley at my parents house, the neighbors walked out a few times to look. the next day, the next 4 houses all did the same. the alley was an ice rink last time

[Ch28]

- You're liable if someone slips on the sidewalk in front of your house, so clear it off. It's a bylaw.

Bylaws don't mean shit if they're not being actively enforced. There are so many houses (on my regular commute) that don't plow their sidewalks (during the last storm and this one) in both Burnaby and Vancouver.

[IMASA]

Looks like south Richmond was hit with a few cm of snow, it was sketchy compared to the last couple of days. Roads didn't look plowed, maybe 2-3cm build up on the main roads.

Once I hit central/north Richmond, it was fine, didn't look like it got any new snow. The drive into Vancouver was uneventful.

[thumper]

getting worried about the forecast for this thursday, ie. heavy rain... there is going to be either lots of flooding or roof collapses everywhere.

[stewie]

Bylaws don't mean shit if they're not being actively enforced. There are so many houses (on my regular commute) that don't plow their sidewalks (during the last storm and this one) in both Burnaby and Vancouver.

Enforced or not, someone takes a dive in front of your house and breaks a hip... you're fucked. There's a lot of slimeballs out there who would love to cash in on an easy law suit. Find an sidewalk that's hasn't been shoveled, take a slip and try to use your wrist to break your fall, break wrist, have a witness, take a few photos. That house is now fucked. The news/radio have said before to shovel it and how it is a bylaw. If it happened to me I wouldn't be able to work for a while as I need both hands to work. I wouldn't be able to go on compo so damn rights I'd want my loss made up for, and then some. If there's a way for the city to avoid paying someone, they'll do it. Look at the tree that fell over into that house the other day. Tree on city property, damaged 2 houses, and the city won't pay for it. It's an "act of god" and you're on your own.

Don't forget, in a city with thousands upon thousands upon thousands of houses with very limited bylaw officers (there's really not as many of them as you'd think), there's not a snow balls chance in hell that they'll make it to every house. :p some houses were fined though. If i run into a bylaw officer today at work I'll ask him if and how many and what the price is on the fine and how many have been given out.

[Gh0stRider]

In Richmond there is no charging section in the bylaw for single family homes, only commercial properties and multi-family properties. Council will be trying to change that.

I believe the fine in Vancouver is $250? In Coquitlam, it is $75

Alerts for: Metro Vancouver

Watches
4:22 AM PST Tuesday 07 February 2017
Winter storm watch in effect for:
- Metro Vancouver

The last Pacific storm this week is expected to arrive late Wednesday in the form of a strong warm front. The front will move in from the south and spread warmer, moist air into the region Wednesday night. With arctic air in place, there will be heavy snow initially Wednesday night along with a good chance of freezing rain. This will be followed by significant rainfall on Thursday. The greatest amount of snow and freezing rain will occur over inland sections. Freezing rain will be a particular problem for the Fraser Valley. Whistler will not feel the effects of the warm air so precipitation should remain as snow during the entire storm.
Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Winter storm watches are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.tempetepacifique-pacificstorm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports to #BCStorm.

Was going on 41st and Knight (eastbound on 41st, right across from Duffins)
Semi truck stuck on hill, jacknifed up and blocked 2 lanes

Traffic flowed through the small streets, and further hilarity ensued
1st exit to turn up was an alley, cars got stuck
2nd exit to turn up was 43rd, BMW SUV was stuck
3rd exit 45th, people almost stuck

These snow tires are worth it's weight in gold almost

I was there around 8pm. 2 buses were stuck, then like you said.. A bunch of others got stuck in the side streets. Thank goodness for my Nokian wrg3.

[thumper]

they are sounding really grim on the radio about wednesday afternoon/thursday morning. out of all the snow days we've gotten so far, tomorrow could potentially be the worst because of freezing rain :(

[xxxrsxxx]

getting worried about the forecast for this thursday, ie. heavy rain... there is going to be either lots of flooding or roof collapses everywhere.

speaking about collapsing roof, is anyone worried about this? I can only imagine how heavy all that snow is on top of our roofs and there really isn't anyway to clear the roof without going up there.
I don't know if it's just me but I feel that my house has "shifted" a little. Looking at my hardwood floors, I noticed the ones along the wall must have moved a little as I can now see the white paint on my floor from painting the walls, frames, baseboards when I previously can't. Also some gaps between the hardwood piece are also starting to crop up too measuring as big as 4 mm in size...

[twitchyzero]

are home construction on the island and southcoast different from the rest of Canada because we historically get less snowfall?

if not, I wouldn't worry about it.

my dad used to prop up the carport cover that's supported by the side of the garage for the winter...I think it's overkill

[Nlkko]

Snow on your roof melt as the house is heated. If there are people living inside I wouldn't worry about it.

[thumper]

no snow on your roof means bad insulation and you are losing heat.

twitchyzero: i think your dad was remembering back in 2008-ish when carports were collapsing under heavy wet snow. i remember there being a big one at one of those low rise apartments near metrotown. several of the cars were parked with no insurance(!) and icbc said tough luck.

there was another one along mt seymour parkway across from the chevron station. not 100% sure but they never rebuilt that one after it came down.

[twitchyzero]

yeah he was doing it before that snowstorm...that's what storage insurance is for I suppose.

Given my recent luck with snow commutes, I think I'll work a half day tomorrow.

weather canada says snowfall starts at around 4pm, and then really starts to come down approx. 7pm with the chance of freezing rain. the heavy rainfall warning comes into effect at 2am.

Sea to Sky - West Vancouver Upper Levels to Squamish
Hazardous winter conditions are expected.

An intense Pacific warm front will arrive late this afternoon. The front will move in from the south and spread warmer, moist air over the colder Arctic air still in place at the surface.

Snow will start falling this afternoon and become heavy this evening. Blowing snow will further reduce visibilities in some areas. As the warm air establishes itself, there will be a risk of freezing rain tonight especially south of Squamish before the transition to rain. From Squamish to Whistler snow is expected to persist through the night and all day Thursday.

Total snowfall amounts will vary from around 15 cm over southern Howe Sound to 40 to 60 cm between Squamish and Whistler.

In addition, strong northerly winds near 70 km/h will continue over southern sections of Howe Sound.

Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.

Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions.

ShiftIntoWinter.ca reminds drivers to know before you go. Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.

Road conditions are available at DriveBC (http://www.drivebc.ca).

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.tempetepacifique-pacificstorm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports to #BCStorm.

Winter storm warning in effect for:

Metro Vancouver
Hazardous winter conditions are expected.

An intense Pacific warm front will arrive this afternoon. The front will move in from the south and spread warmer, moist air over the colder Arctic air still in place at the surface.

Snow will start falling this afternoon and become heavier into the evening. As the warm air establishes itself, there will be a good chance of freezing rain followed by significant rainfall overnight Wednesday and Thursday.

The transition to rain is expected earliest along the immediate coast. Further inland, snow will persist longer and the risk of freezing rain will increase. As a result, snowfall amounts will vary considerably across the region, from 5 to 15 cm near the coast to 20 cm or more inland.

Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.tempetepacifique-pacificstorm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports to #BCStorm.

Hazardous winter conditions are expected. Light snow has developed over Northwest Washington and is spreading northeast. Snow will develop over much of Southwest BC this afternoon and intensify with the heaviest amounts expected into the evening. As the warm air establishes itself, there will be a good chance of freezing rain followed by significant rainfall overnight and into Thursday. The transition to rain is expected earliest along the immediate coast. Further inland, snow will persist longer and the risk of freezing rain will increase. As a result, snowfall amounts will vary considerably across the region, from 5 to 15 cm near the coast to 20 cm or more inland.

Got to Olympic Village platform around 2:15pm. Looks like most of DT left work early. Platform and trains were crowded but everything was on schedule.

One peculiar thing was the trains weren't staying on each platform for very long. About half their usual time. This caused a lot of idiocy with people forcing the doors open.

Cue Rene!

Rene is an off-the-job green jacket who just happened to be on our train. He got tired of seeing people force the doors open and yelled at them to 'Stop or the train doesn't move!'

Needless to say, the idiots listened.

However, the damage was done to a particular set of doors. They would not close firmly shut and therefore, the train would not move. Rene was standing far back and asked people to slide the doors closed.

They were useless.

Rene forced his way through the crowd of phone zombies and shut the doors himself. With authority.

He then took his keys, opened the panel door and permanently shut the doors. He then went to the storage box that is near the centre section of the cars, grabs a sign and sticks to the door. He also reiterated to everyone to not use these doors. He also had to tap on the glass to tell people on each platform not to touch the doors from the outside. He also communicated with command central of his actions.

Rene was done his day and just happened to be heading home. Had he not been in that train at that time. There were would have been a massive delay because no one would have known why the train wasn't moving but it was due to typical fuckstains abusing the doors and causing a malfunction.

Thank Dog for Rene. A real MVP. Worth writing to Translink about.

Coming down hard in ridge atm

[JSALES]

I hope the Canada line doesn't fuck up today, I need to take the train only 3 stops to get to my destination today..

[MG1]

Yup, people are pretty much clueless, but Translink has to take the initiative and let idiots know why the trains stop operating and what causes delays. My sister-in-law, who rides ST on a daily basis said that that is what caused the huge delay (more like a complete shutdown) last time. Some bonehead forced the door open and broke it, so it wouldn't close.

Fuck, some people are stupid.

What a joke

For the fourth time in less than a week, SkyTrain’s Canada Line is experiencing service disruptions due to snowfall and freezing rain.

There is no train service to Vancouver International Airport; trains are only operating from Waterfront Station to Richmond-Brighouse Station.

A bus bridge shuttle is operating between the affected stations from Bridgeport Station to YVR Airport Station.

Issues with the train system began at approximately 9:40 pm.

The Expo and Millennium lines are operating normally, but some buses across the region are experiencing delays and reroutings. Earlier in the day, there were service disruptions on the Expo Line – at Commercial-Broadway Station during the morning rush hour and Gateway Station late-afternoon – due to medical emergencies.

The impact from current service interruptions is likely relatively minimal given that it began late at night instead of during rush hour, but it impacts those who may be catching a flight from the airport this evening.

Previous disruptions over the past week were the result of issues on the North Arm Bridge between Marine Drive Station and Bridgeport Station.

Compared to the system used by the Expo and Millennium lines, the Canada Line’s technology and design is more susceptible to problems from snowfall events

What more do you want from Translink? The STM in Montreal gets delayed all the time during winter, as do their buses. It's not like snowfall is a foreign concept to them over there. Ontario's GO is also in the same boat. They experience bus and rail delays quite often due to the snow. And remember, they're places that experience proper winters, unlike the rainy ones Vancouver usually gets.

Good thing I just missed this. Trains were running really slow this morning. People getting agitated that others weren't making space for each other to get in and out of the train. I was expecting shit to hit the fan at some point.

It's fascinating to know the Canada Line uses an inferior system compared to Skytrain. I guess they thought since half the line is underground, they could cut corners?

Ontario's GO is also in the same boat. They experience bus and rail delays quite often due to the snow. And remember, they're places that experience proper winters, unlike the rainy ones Vancouver usually gets.

are we talking 15 minute delays or 2 hours+ delays because an entire bridge was shut down?

I think getting frustrated is warranted at a relatively new rapid transport system that can't handle a few centimeters of snow at a time. I haven't been to Toronto in a long time but I recall their system and Montreals are like what, from the 60's? Expo 67 for Montreal? Canada Line opened in 2009.

that and the ice bombs on AF and PM, design oversight over 9000.

If they do it, it'd still be pretty meaningless. It'll just end up being the same as the S2S route where all seasons are considered "winter tires", and the situation wouldn't be too different. On the other hand, I question the sensibility of mandatory winter tires when the average temperatures in our coldest months (Dec and Jan) are 4°C.

[6o4__boi]

yeah...there's just no efficient way to really crack down on a mandatory winter tire rule in the LM

Void coverage should be relatively easy. If a report filed for the accident indicated the driver(s) involved did not have adequate tires for the pre-defined condition(s). (ie. shit tires or summers when it was a slush mode out there, then they're on their own.
Similar to the 10 year driving restrictions that some people put on their insurance. If a person driving it doesn't have the 10 years and gets into an accident, they're fucked. If you don't have proper tires for the conditions and you factor into a collision, you should be fucked.

To implement it, they really just have to lay out what the predefined conditions are and what constitutes inadequate tires. (ie. X amount of snow in X hours, X temperature, X kind of tires, X % left in tires and so on.

[Nlkko]

Seems like a waste of time. Just put it under driving without reasonable consideration for others if they are stucked.

Video said ppl can get tickets for worn tires. Anyone know the details on that? Ie what's the ticket fall under, what's the threshold for worn?

[68style]

^Anything below 5/32

[Traum]

The MVA technically calls for minimum tread depth of 3.5mm on winter tires, and that is just a touch less than 5/32".

[MG1]

First, no snow tires, then tread depth........ when will this all end? It's a slippery slope, I say.

All kidding aside, I'm all for it. Nevermind the inconvenience caused by these drivers, they could end up causing major accidents and injuries. If the COV do go ahead with this, I hope the other municipalities follow suit.

One thing is for sure, the tire shops would be very happy.

[320icar]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, 35-40% of vehicles that come in for new tires are worn well past the wear bar. A lot of alignment issues that burn through the inner or outer tread to the point of showing chords and wires. I'm 1000000% for road side safety checks

When I talked to my friend who lives out there earlier, he said the roads were fine. I'd still be cautious of black ice, especially if you're going out there during the evening/early morning.

We're just coming out of a La Niña, so March should still be cooler than average. I'd probably keep the winters on until at least late March.

[twitchyzero]

I mean most highway requirement is Oct 1 to March 31st...that's probably a good guide. I only recall snow falling in April/May once or twice in Vancouver.

According to Environment Canada, the most snow recorded in a single day in April (Vancouver International Airport) was 3.8 cm on April 10, 1946 and average snow days (>0.2 cm) in April is 0.17 (approx. 1 day every 6 years).

For Vancouver, average last day with minimum temperature below 0°C is March 18.
