Man wash world in Richmond is pretty fucked up. Right where the galeforce dryer is is a huge ice puddle/lake and it takes a while to get through. Luckily I have winter tired but Tcs was screaming and car was still swaying side to side. The prius in the other bay with winters stood still for a while and she was given an extra free run lol.

I'd say the ice patch is abt 2 or 3 ft long and about 6ft wide. Don't go if you don't have awd/winters :/

At least car came out pretty clean and yes it froze a lot. Just a bit of water mark from where the ice froze but pretty happy for a $6 job

On Saturday/Sunday I spent both those days changing the oil on my truck, changing the spark plugs, oiling and cleaning my air filter, transmission filter change, differential fluid change, transfercase fluid change. Then I rotated my M+S tires.

I did all this because I wanted to be a douchebag on the fresh powder, do donuts in empty parking lots, powerslide around corners, and what happens? I wake up and another family member has taken my truck. Now I'm pissed off and can't go anywhere because the only other half decent car my dad's taken.

I am stuck on my drive way. I parked facing up hill, I cant get to work :rofl::rofl:

[TRDood]

Everyone who is supposed to show up at work, showed up. I just hope it won't take me 3 hours to get home tonight. Still coming down hard? My cubicle has no window... :(

[Alatar]

I had to pass a fishtailing unmarked police cruiser on Knight St on my way to work this morning.

Had no problems with sliding or anything, but then, I drive an impreza with snow tires.

I'm looking forward to an extra healthy dumping of snow throughout the day. I really hope this doesn't turn to rain.

[Berzerker]

Shoveled the driveway for the first time this season.... It's nice when it's light and fluffy. :D

Berz out.

[cityvanluder]

drove to cap today at 730am from south burnaby, i have some shitty all seasons on, with maybe 50% tread and i had no problems, got there and back without a hitch. I have a feeling this is nothing compared to whats coming...

[coolhwip]

Drove from Richmond to SFU Burnaby, no problems at all. Audi A4 with snow tires handled it very well...Even when a snow plow in front of me on highway 91 plowed snow onto my lane; Smart car behind me kept fishtailing, luckily he kept a safe distance from me.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

suppose to rain + snow in the afternoon

its gonna be nasty

[Alatar]

We've shoveled the driveway at the shop 3 times already this morning. We also had to cancel a few appointments and not loan out the courtesy cars in this weather. Last thing we need is a wrecked courtesy car because some customer doesn't know how to drive in the snow.

@TRDood, it's still coming down hard at Knight/Kingsway, and covering/sticking everywhere.

I've driven up the Coquihalla in blizzards before, with all season tires in a turbocharged FWD car. That's rather sketchy. This is nothing compared to that.

[Euro7r]

Shoveled the snow earlier and now the ground is covered again.

[Lomac]

I've decided 225 wide tires aren't very good for snow, even though they're snow tires. Lol. Langley sucks right now...

holy fack its bad

[Great68]

I'm loving the Limited Slip in the MS3. For a Turbo FWD car, it goes great in the snow.

[RevRav]

I thought we were only suppose to get 5-10cm of snow LOL and then turn into rain sometime mid-afternoon. Now weather network say:
Thursday Afternoon: close to 10cm
Thursday Evening: close to 10cm

24-Hour Precipitation Outlook
15-20 cm of snow from Thursday Afternoon to Friday Morning

less than 1cm on Friday
less than 1cm on Saturday
close to 1cm on Sunday
1-3cm on Monday.... :rofl:

[Mr.JDM]

So long as you avoid 200th St between Hwy 1 and 64th, you should be fine. Major accident at 74'ish involving a flipped SUV. The rest of the city is mostly fine, though the snow is still piling up on the roads.

hah yep the skinnier the better when it comes to snow tires....

After one day, I've decided that my old 185/50/15 Toyo Proxy4's are MUCH better than my 225/40/18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22's.

Damn.

Good luck with that - in order for UBC to close, you'll have to knock out their power station. :p

The knight street bridge has built in heating elements (from what I've read) so as long as you make it to the bridge, you won't get stuck. According to wiki, there's electric heating cables in the bridge. Main roads are pretty good because of the frequency of people driving on 'em. As long as you drive in the ruts and don't high center you're good to go.

Dude dont ragequit

I almost just did. Decided to take the accord out, and what a disaster that was. TCS kept kicking in on turns so I couldn't power my wheels to dig into the snow, so I slid like crazy. Anyone know how to disable TCS on a 2003 honda accord V6? The TCS button is nonfunctional, is there a fuse I can pull?

[subordinate]

Lol, why can't you bring a bag of snow melt over rice?


I see snow melt more beneficial than rice overall.

[Ikkaku]

fuck, they should rename all seasons to something else so my dad would stop believing they work in snow

so... should i drive a lowered celica that has all seasons with 3.5 years worth of driving, or the C240 with all seasons with like 2500km on them LOL

[6insomnia9]

Well i am really going to step outside everytime i might get stuck LOL

all i gotta say is trolololol

or ill just buy both!

[Liquid_o2]

My drive in to work in Richmond from Surrey was fine this morning. hwy 99 was decently clear for the most part. But come 6pm, it is going to be a pain driving home in the dark.

[Matlock]

Just because the sidewalks are not shoveled doesn't mean you should walk on the road!!!!!!

[rJZx]

Just came back from kwantlen and on the way home I already noticed those retards driving big trucks going 70km and honking at those who are driving cautiously... Just because you are driving a truck doesnt mean that you cant lose traction and crash so drive safely :thumbsup:

[gdoh]

cant wait for the trip home from DT in my dads van with his 50% tred all season tires lol glad im not driving it

[Jeremy617]

Just because the sidewalks are not shoveled doesn't mean you should walk on the road!!!!!!

there was some girl waiting for a bus in queensborough while talking on her cell phone and standing in the road, just next to the part of the road where the snow is pushed away from the cars driving over it.

right where the road turns too, i came pretty close to rolling down my window and yelling at her to GTFO, even a little bit of traction loss and i could have gone sailing right into her.

what a moron

Any of you guys heard of all weather tires? Gfs dad says they got snow flake symbols on them. Anyone confirm?

I did a google for you and got this...
http://www.nokiantires.com/

Our “All-Weather Plus” Nokian WRG2 and Nokian WRG2 SUV offer the best performance in every season. These tires include the “severe service emblem” indicating that they are highly effective in winter driving conditions. But unlike other winter tires, they do not need to be removed during the summer. Drivers in areas that experience winter can now have one set of tires that will work for all seasons.

http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2008/02/06/your_winter_tire_questions_ans/
Q. Are "all weather" tires winter tires?

A. The all weather tire is another designation that’s thrown around especially by a couple of brand names. It’s a tire that’s just soft enough or just pliable enough to qualify as a winter tire that’s in the compound of the tread blocks, but designed to be used all year long, more like an all season. The problem is that it’s not perfect at either thing. It’s still too hard to be fully optimized as a winter tire. You’re better off getting a pure winter tire.

i know nokian makes all weathers better than A/S on snow but still inferior to dedicated snow tires

all weathers are like A/S's with a LITTLE better snow performance, thats wut google says
