Just did the weekly Silverdale petrol run. Hwy 7 is fine but the side streets are iced up in places pretty good. Expecting to see some bumper cars this morning.

[UnknownJinX]

LOL I lost power for like 9 hours yesterday.

Wind blows.

[coneZONE]

i was warming up my car this morning, and dude with an x-terra and park plates drove up to me and asked if i needed help getting out. Thanks dude! I was ok though and didn't require any assistance. Very grateful for the gesture, i'm glad we still have such kind people around. If you're on RS, thank you again!

[Harvey Specter]

I'm in Vancouver and the snow came down hard just after midnight but eased off around 3am so decided to shovel and salt the sidewalk because I was worried about icing when I got up. Surprisingly most of the snow has melted from the sidewalks and the side streets are clean.

[320icar]

Richmond got about 2” of slush. I may or may not have gone out at night to drive like a teenager, but the slush was just too soft and the car gripped like it was dry pavement :(

[Badhobz]

fucking bullshit!!! robbed again by this crap winter. the sportwagen didnt slip once on this slushy shit.

BRING IT OLD MAN WINTER ya fucking impotent crackpot. do whatcha did last year!

i paid good money for this 4motion damnit.

There was soo many abandoned vehicles today at the base of westwood plateau. Did they not learn from last year? They live there, but dont have proper tires. It should be mandatory if you live there. I looked at a few of their tires, all season...:rukidding:

The GF and I decided to do some snow driving in the Jeep and noticed tonnes of cars going up. Ended up leading a pack of cars up Westwood as we were creating decent tire lanes up the hill for them to get contact. Worked for most vehicles but a lot of them couldn't make it up. Unfortunately our tow ropes are on the Coast so we couldn't do much to help people get unstuck, but even if we did we wouldn't be able to tow them up the hills anyways as 90% of them had shit tires. To the point even the police and firetrucks were dodging them.

[twitchyzero]

I cant recall, are all emergency vehicles servicing LML running winters?

[TOPEC]

I cant recall, are all emergency vehicles servicing LML running winters?

i remember seeing new west fire trucks running chains, and many years ago VPD police cars with chains. i think ambulance do not run snow tires or chains as i was speaking with a home owner near the west end and they witnessed an ambulance trying to go up a steep hill for like 20mins.

[Gh0stRider]

i saw a firetruck going up westwood plateau with chains on

[roastpuff]

I cant recall, are all emergency vehicles servicing LML running winters?

Not all of them. The fire trucks tend to have big chunky tires with auto-chains installed. Depending on ambulance, some may have HD truck A/T tires or snow tires installed. The Pemberton ambulances have Blizzak W965's or Duratracs and the local RCMP detachment has Goodyear snow tires installed.

The Pemberton fire trucks have Michelin XDN2's. https://tirecraft.com/commercial/tires-by-brand/michelin-commercial-tires/michelin-xdn-2-truck-tires/

[Dragon-88]

I also mostly only see the SUV police vehicles on the hills. I'm guessing the sedans stick to the city.

[mb_]

When I worked at North Van, we had a contract to service BC ambulances and they all used Blizzak winters

Roads are VERY slippery all over knight past that point tho.

I think the worst part about this snow is that it snowed so lightly, that it melts quick, but since it's freezing out, it turns into ice quickly

Watched a lady attempt to stop at a red light in Burnaby near Willingdon. She stopped well past the crosswalk lines and decided to say fuck it and go straight through on a red light. Looked very similar to that video posted a week or two ago in Richmond, only she went through the intersection doing 5kmph.

Special weather statements are in effect for B.C.'s South Coast as the sun moves out and more snow moves in, with the City of Vancouver under a weather warning.

Flurries are expected to start in Metro Vancouver, Whistler and the Fraser Valley, as well as on the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island, by Friday morning.

Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning for the City of Vancouver just after 11 a.m. on Thursday, valid from Friday night until Saturday morning.

It said the snow will affect road conditions and likely rush hour commutes.

Snowfall amounts in other areas will vary, with the most buildup expected at higher elevations in the Valley.

Wednesday saw light snow along the coast, with drivers in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island running into trouble on the roads.

In Richmond alone, RCMP officers were called to 22 collisions in 24 hours after 7 p.m.

Fire crews in the Township of Langley also responded to dozens of calls. In one case, two of its own fire trucks were badly damaged after they hit black ice and rolled over.

Deputy Chief Russ Jenkins said the two trucks had been responding to a crash at 76th Avenue and Morrison Crescent when they tipped just before 7 a.m.

One firefighter was hospitalized as a precaution.

Temperatures dipped to –6 C, continuing a cold snap that prompted Vancouver officials to open three 24-hour warming centres for those without shelter earlier this week.

[AstulzerRZD]

xice sucks balls on ice :lol

Can confirm. They're great for the typical Vancouver weather (very light snow, lots of rain, dry a lot of the time), but suck in the deep/icy stuff.

Drove them back to back with a pair of WS80s and Nokians, which were much better in the deep/icy stuff.

Don't WS80's wear down really quickly compared to the Xice?

I'm 90% in Metro Vancouver, with a few drives up to Whistler every year... so Xice have been fine for me. I suppose if you are going up to the interior, it might make a difference.

Yes ws80 are significantly softer and do not come with a mileage warranty. Whereas the x-ice xi3 does come with a mileage warranty (I believe the only full winter tire that does)

Yep - they last about half as long from what I'm hearing.

The XIces are particularly easy to recommend with their 60k km warranty and what I'd go with for Vancouver.

One alternative that seems to be a good balance between the two is the Conti WinterContactSI

Never been to Sasquatch, but between the 3 local mountains (Cyrpress, Grouse, Seymour), I like them all for slightly different reasons:

Cypress - best runs
Grouse - best view, the Cut
Seymour - cheapest of the 3, unfortunately also like their runs the least

Had to run errands but walked / took Skytrain.

Near my place, there was an elderly man on his scooter that couldn't tread through the deep snow on the sidewalk. I approached him and asked if he needed help and he said yes.

I ended up pushing him an entire city block and up a slight hill till the sidewalk was clear. I think going to the gym 4 days a week came in useful there. My shoes were caked in snow and I slipped a bit but I made it happen. He was grateful.

We pulled the drivers off the road around 12:30 I think. Coquitlam was a gong show. A bunch of us (4 of our store employees, a construction worked from Marcon, a pedestrian and one of our customers) helped a lady in a Mercedes who was stuck in the middle of the intersection at Smith and Clarke.

Lady had no idea what she was doing and was running all seasons. I get that something like that is frustrating to other drivers, but just shake your head and move along.

I'll never understand people that spend that much money on a luxury car and can't afford the extra $1000 for snow tires. The one single thing that's keeping their car safely on the road. If you can't afford to buy snow tires then don't drive.

The whole idea of "well it only snows 2 times a year" is complete bullshit, because all it takes is for one car to cause a major accident in this kind of weather.

It's not that they can't afford them.

It's either

A) they just just don't know anything about tires;

B) they try to save money on things they should buy.

For me, $1200 tires is better than possibly crashing my car, totalling it and injuring myself and others.

And winter tires help out even when there is no snow. The compound is softer and grids better in cold weather.

And lastly, most no-season tires are shit in summer as well if you do spirited driving. Better to just have 2 dedicated sets for my 8.

Inside streets are brutal, I pulled over to take a picture of the snow and got stuck lol. RWD + snow tires...wasn't even that thick of snow in Vancouver around 4pm.

Luckily a gentleman pushed me out, thank you, god bless you for the good help.

I only put like 2000km tops a season and I've had the tires for 5 years now, total < 10,000km, but I find that grip is not as great as it once was. The tread life is like 9/11, so plenty remaining. Not sure if my tires are shit now due to age or it's just the weather is too crazy? General Altimax winter setup.

Worked like a charm, took me 30 mins to get from North Van to Fraserview. About 20 mins less than usual...

Coworker left at 2:30 and it took him almost 3 hours to get to Edmunds.

he shouldve got a ranger rover. At least drive something more compatible.

Won't help when it breaks down in the snow :troll:

Took me 50 minutes from Richmond home to Vancouver. BUT, took 25 minutes to get through the mess of Steveston Hwy, and only 25 min the rest of the way. Richmond got hit way harder than Vancouver this time around.

How are the main roads right now? Gotta head downtown in an hour lol

[GLOW]

There was an RR that had hit a pole on Kingsway and Boundary right in front of the Telus boot around 12PM earlier today. Airbags deployed, front bumper half ripped off. Didn't see the driver though. Probably hiding around the corner in shame.

it was a skinny asian kid with skinny jeans and smoking a cig talking to the cop that showed up behind the RR with lights on to warn traffic. in front of the RR was what looked like an identical RR parked with hazards and a girl in the drivers seat, i assume knew the guy.

[Inaii]

I'll never understand people that spend that much money on a luxury car and can't afford the extra $1000 for snow tires. The one single thing that's keeping their car safely on the road. If you can't afford to buy snow tires then don't drive.

The whole idea of "well it only snows 2 times a year" is complete bullshit, because all it takes is for one car to cause a major accident in this kind of weather.

The worst part was she had her daughter in the car with her at the time =/

It's not that they can't afford them.

It's either

A) they just just don't know anything about tires;

B) they try to save money on things they should buy.

For me, $1200 tires is better than possibly crashing my car, totalling it and injuring myself and others.

And winter tires help out even when there is no snow. The compound is softer and grids better in cold weather.

And lastly, most no-season tires are shit in summer as well if you do spirited driving. Better to just have 2 dedicated sets for my 8.

If they feel that they're better off saving $1200 then either buy a cheaper car or don't buy a car at all.

[Lomac]

Inside streets are brutal, I pulled over to take a picture of the snow and got stuck lol. RWD + snow tires...wasn't even that thick of snow in Vancouver around 4pm.

Luckily a gentleman pushed me out, thank you, god bless you for the good help.

I only put like 2000km tops a season and I've had the tires for 5 years now, total < 10,000km, but I find that grip is not as great as it once was. The tread life is like 9/11, so plenty remaining. Not sure if my tires are shit now due to age or it's just the weather is too crazy? General Altimax winter setup.

Gonna be a mixture of age and tires that aren't particularly great for snow. Depending on the model, some of their tires are designed more for light/compacted snow and ice, and others are set up more for deep snow.

My Nokian Hakk R2's are great on compacted snow and ice but not particularly good in deep snow, just as a reference.

how do you tell apart RWD vs AWD Huracan and why is the doorjam not black like the rest of the car...MM wrap?

[bigzz786786]

^with the wrap there's no way to tell if its awd or rwd, if it wasn't wrapped there would be a small badge best the driver rear wheel which will say 580-2 for rwd and i think it would say 610-4 for awd, the amount of torque that thing uses makes it hard as hell to control, and i believe they come with UHP summer tires so its a lose lose. even if hey were snow tires, it would still be super hard to control that kind of car on a hill like that.

Incorrect. The 580 doesn't have badges, only the 610 does. Easiest way to tell them apart is the rear, the 580 has a larger plastic grille compared to the 610s thinner grille and lower part of the bumpers are different. Also the front bumper is different, the 580 has more of LP560 look. And finally the 580 comes with steel brakes, 610 has carbon brakes.

You know, I was driving the family SUV (with AWD) on some fairly new all seasons, and it was surprisingly easy to go anywhere -- including the totally unplowed side streets. The snow we're having right now is very easy to manoeuvre -- basically a soft and slightly powdery / damp fluffy snow. As long as you know what you are doing and how much traction you have, I'd say the snow we're getting now is as easy to drive as snowy roads get.

If you don't do spirited summer driving and you can't have 2 sets, consider all-weather tires. Those are more similar to winter tires in terms of construction and they have the snowflake symbols on them. Nokian WRG3 was pretty good when I had it for my Accord V6. I only got stuck at the bottom a very slushy and steep hill, but otherwise it's great.

Remember that since all-weather is closer to winter tires, so summer performance will not be as great. That's why I have 2 sets now; I want the best grip and handling in the summer.

Winter wiper fluid (water-propylene glycol-detergent mix) should definitely not make it worse. Winter wiper fluid generally won't freeze until -35°C or colder. Even a 2:1 water:PG ratio is good down to -18°C.

If you have summer wiper fluid or a mix of summer/winter wiper fluid, then yeah, it'll probably make things worse as it crystallizes on your windshield.

I'm using a winter fluid that's good for -39 but that's only to prevent it from freezing in the tank. Once it's sprayed on the windshield, the alcohol quickly evaporates leaving behind water that freezes.

You're correct, glycol would turn thick in the cold and clog lines. That's why most wiper fluids don't use it. Most wiper fluids use methanol. Glycols are used mainly for coolants and antifreeze.

This is the absolute opposite of what you should be doing. If it's cold enough you put your heat on the floor NOT on defrost. Keep your Windshield frozen and then the snow won't melt when it hits it and consequently freeze after it melts. You should be keeping your cab just warm enough to not be cold and keep the front Window frozen. When you do this the snow flakes will just blow over the car.

My car has heating elements in the front for the wipers tied to the rear defroster and heated mirrors. Those elements will heat up a good third of the windshield. A lot of cars wouldn't be able to do what you're suggesting if the driver intends to use the rear defroster. I also don't want to be in a position where I need to wash dirt/salt off the windshield only to have it frosted over a few seconds later.

Something change? cuz for the longest time cov never did any side streets. They only focus on the main streets.

I love my EV. As long as it’s plugged in, I can remote heat the whole car. In ten minutes, all windows, except rear (for some unknown reason) is dry and toasty. When it snows, it takes a little longer.

But on the other hand, when temp dips, your capacity/range goes down as well, no?
