Living in Richmond and driving in Richmond during this snow hell is horrible. I was on the right lane following a bunch of slow cars and a Infiniti FX thinks he's invincible to the snow and started tail gating me. Thats what I hate about Richmond. I'm on the right lane for a reason. Safest thing to do if you live in Richmond? Just stay the **** home.

[kyoshiro]

k so after driving down no.4 road which is ultimately in the worst ever condition, and cambie which was better, I can say that the roads are iced up beneath the snow as I lost traction and traction control kicked in turning onto no.4 even when I was slow as fuck (tho my glk is heavy as fuck too). but yeah even winter rated tires will not do well in these roads, need studded tires. Not to mention there are still WRXes going weeee and X3s going wooo and tailgating sighs. I did not see the c-lai c classes tho thankfully.

albeit i'm on A/S but i still skid quite badly at even around 25kph

[BrRsn]

fuck I have to go to work. Is it relaly that bad?

Its -3 so its really icy. The snow that's falling isn't really making it powdery but more hardpacked icy. Usually I make out pretty well in the powder with M+S tires, but this ice is just horrible. It's still pretty safe to drive around 50 on most streets just be very aware and alert .. I hit a few patches of ice randomly in corners and had to correct it pretty quick. People are driving like completely morons on the side streets (inadvertently running stop signs, making wide ass left turns into the opposite side of the street, retarded).

I was going 30-40 all the way, i wouldnt go 50...

[BrRsn]

Well at your own discretion. I left my truck in 2nd gear the whole way, as I approached corners/curves I just let off the gas and let the engine brake all 4 wheels down to 30 and go through them, then get back upto 50. Taking left turns is risky business. Never know if people are gonna be able to stop in time or not.

[Alatar]

Just want to stress to anyone with snow tires that this is ice we're talking about on the roads. Not just snow. Conditions are very icy out there, and even with snow tires, that doesn't mean you should be driving like an idiot.

Just because you may be able to stop/go/maneuver doesn't mean everyone else around you can.

[jjson]

just got off work from honda, had to park a G35 w/ summer tires as a blocker. Should have used the CRV instead.

I was driving around at around 5pm from about Broadway & Cambie to Kingsway up to Knight Street, and even though the snow was barely covering the ground, it was about as slippery of conditions as I've driven in like 12 years. The conditions were such that the snow pretty much turned into a sheet of ice, even along the main roads.

While I was in all seasons, I was barely getting traction even on like a 2° incline on Broadway... was sad.

While home, there was an accident in the intersection of Knight & Kingsway at around 6:30pm that inconvenienced traffic for like an hour...

I really wanna say "i told you so" but that'd be a dick move. I routinely go back and forth from the mountains/whistler in the winter .. while I'm no expert snow driver, but I'm sure what just happened wouldn't have if she had accepted my offer to drive her and her friends. Oh well, live and learn.

We'll see if ICBC rules her 100% at fault because of no snow tires .. I have no idea on the specifics of the accident.

Before you guys go off and say "FEMALE DRIVER!" shes actually not half bad, im actually surprised she crashed. Just inexperienced I guess/

[ziggyx]

My friend insisted on driving downtown even though I insisted I drive them and pick them up because the roads are shit and I'm gonna be up till late as hell anyways studying, and I actually have half decent tires ... i actually JUST got a text saying "i just hit the car fuck fuck fuck fuck" as I was typing this ... wow.

Ouch. What car is he driving?

[Oleophobic]

one of my buddies told me he was on kingsway and one time he braked and skidded and did a 180. After he came to a complete stop he was facing the car behind him lol

Ouch. What car is he driving?

e46 330i facelift with mtech 2 ... in sapphire black .. lowered with clear corners, nice wheels, angel eyes. AA software, intake, header etc. etc ... beauty of a car. I fucking want it :(

Ouch even shitter for her. Hopefully the damage aint that bad.

Ouch even shitter for her. Hopefully the damage aint that bad.

Yeah hope she and the car are ok. Apparently she was on the phone she told me now, luckily for her the car's got bluetooth + shes got a class 5 so it should be all good. I'm kinda disappointed ... I just finished helping her pickout and install all the mods :( Feels like a part of me just died lol.

Just freaky how I was thinking about how she took her car out in this snow, and seconds after that I got a text lol.

[- kT]

worst thing about most of the roads is that theres actually a thin layer of snow covering a layer of ice. so you think you're fine as long as you have snow tires, then you hit a turn and fly into a curb

i was out earlier today (really early, when there was only about 1mm of snow) and i had the worst and scariest drive of my life, and i didn't even go far. my own dumbass fault though, taking a rwd car with summer tires out in any amount of snow. i'm really lucky to have arrived home fine actually. took my parents rav4 out for the rest of the day. my cars staying garaged until this snow is gone

i saw a shitload of accidents too. most seem to have been from people who were inexperienced or overconfident. like i said, because it seems like it's just snow, people think their snow tires will save them from any amount of slip

be careful out there guys. just because you're equipped with winter gear and know what you're doing, doesn't mean the person behind you does

[TRDood]

So far tonight, I have seen ZERO snow plows in vancouver. Did the city just don't give a shit?

A lot of damn bmw/merc/audi being heros out there, blocking the whole fucking road. E.g. coming out of downtown after the game...

[- kT]

^ isn't there some olympic thing going on in downtown too? wonder how that's going with this weather =\

i saw a snow machine sprinkling salt at around 3pm in richmond. no snowplows though. and that was when the snow was only about 2mm high. they need to get some snowplows out, way too many accidents going on

[murd0c]

My sister just called me driving down #1 going 65 on her way to work and she was pulled over. Even tho the speed limit is 80 the cop gave her a lecture that it was too fast in these conditions and told her to slow down and be careful.

I personally thing good on him, this was her first time pulled over and it freaked her out. Hopefully she will slow down now rather then getting into a accident and getting hurt.

[Oleophobic]

I'm just amazed at the amount of people driving with following distances less than 2 seconds in this weather. In snowy/icy conditions, following distances should be at least 4 seconds, longer is preferred.

I was driving home with my family after eating out and was amazed at how close the car behind me was to my car. Not tailgating by any means but just the following distance is definitely < 2 seconds. Meanwhile I maintain a steady 5 seconds distance from the car in front of me. Nobody is driving faster than 40 in these conditions yet once in a while (and by while I mean a few minutes) you will see the odd driver with snow tires (some probably don't even have snows) going by at 50 or even faster.

People need to just be patient and leave earlier if they need to get somewhere on time. Despite the conditions, I actually enjoyed the drive with my family. In fact, it was almost like an adventure driving through a sea of white. Felt like Christmas again almost. Felt great and really relaxed compared to those who are always in a rush and getting pissed at every driver slower than them.

Yes. I came out of the Granville theatre at 930pm (free screening for Rango), and Granville street was filled with people singing/partying/celebrating.

Took me about 20 minutes to get the fuck out of downtown with the Olympic crowd, Canucks game, and snow...

Got home safe though :fullofwin:

[Anjew]

a G and a c-class stuck on nanaimo kingsway an hour ago, suckers.... leave the summer tires at home

[domco]

Thats why I choose to drive on the right lane in the snow and I always somehow get tailgated by an ***hole who's either rolling in a 4wd or just on snow tires. FFS just go on the left lane if you're in a rush

Meh, I only saw one snowplow on West 4th on the way back to downtown an hour ago and that's it. Most of the roads are covered in snow and a layer of ice.

Going down steep hills in Kits is tricky. My rear swung to the side for a few secs gave me a heart attack. I am thankful the other driver yielded at the stop sign for the longest time when he saw me in trouble.

[cdizzle_996]

I just got home from the Canucks game. I couldnt beleive it, it looked like none of the roads had been touched. There was probably 2" in some spots. I got out to Abby, and theres a light dusting, almost nothing.

[Ch28]

I hope you motherfuckers that wanted snow got what you wished for.

The commute home was a bitch because NONE of the roads were plowed and I'm talking about Broadway, Kingsway, Main etc. I don't care about the snow if our city is equip for it but we're not. We have like 5 snow plows in the entire GVR and we rarely get snow that people aren't accustomed to driving in it which leads to accidents. The packed down snow + ice on the roads doesn't help either.

[taylor192]

A group of 7-8 of teenagers decided it would a good time to cross across hastings street tonight..... I had snow tires on..... guy behind me wasn't so lucky.......

Good luck! :haha:

A Honda Accord missed a turn onto the Arthur Laing onramp earlier, couldn't get grip. Guy decides to back up - ON MARINE DRIVE NO LESS - and sits there, signalling to go left until it was clear of traffic. And there I am, sitting behind him, waiting. Serious WTF.

Spotted a bit of a drama on 41st @ Knight Street. [Had to call 911]

A Volvo couldn't get up the hill then slided into a Camry. Plus a Red Mazda3 failed to climb the same hill, causing two vehicles hitting the curb to avoid him.

Drive safe.

People crash in dry weather and in rain. I don't think it would be to far fetched to assume that some might crash in the snow and ice it is slippery as fuck. I hear what your saying about people driving like idiots, going to fast or not leaving enough space but accidents are going to happen, more then happen when road conditions are ideal it's simple physics.

I made it around East Van to Richmond on my all season tires in my AMG without getting stuck once. I climbed a lot of hills on the way back too (from Renfrew E.28 all the way to Richmond Center)

Saw a bus jack knife on the way out of Van lol.

[Fafine]

i got home pretty easily. i tested my stopping distance on 41st when it was empty and my car with snow tires stopped pretty well, as long as i give proper distance with the car infront.

too many people are driving wayyyyy to quick. saw like 5 cars going 60+. and lots of people losing grip off the light, especially suvs.

pretty fun driving home though

I love late night driving when it snows (especially with my subie). No stupid unprepared drivers on the road, people don't take up two lanes, and there's basically no traffic.
It really makes driving in the snow enjoyable considering you dont have to constantly be on edge anticipating the traffic.

Here's a summary of what I saw on a short drive between East Van + Brentwood last night:
A sedan getting acquainted with a tree coming down the hill at 41st + rupert.
A rav-4 running the red light at kingsway + rupert and almost sliding straight into the center median across the street.
Countless cars + SUVs coming to a sliding stop at red lights.
A corolla making a right turn from boundary onto 22nd way too quickly, slid and almost hit the poor xterra waiting to turn left. I would've shit my pants if i was in that xterra.
A cadillac seville turning into my gf's apartment complex at buchanan. Came down the slope beside sushi garden too quickly, slid and made a b-line straight for the fire hydrant beside the entrance to the parkade lol. Unfortunately he stopped within a feet of the fire hydrant.
And a 2 car "pileup" at the bottom of boundary hill, right underneath the highway 1 overpass...
I swear some people just need to learn the hard way and run into a lifeless object for the safety of others.

As for myself, I barely got up Boundary ;)

Shoulda took a picture..
But all the men in my block assembled around 8:30 (including me) and shoveled the hell out of the block. When one guy finished early, he helped his neighbour, and when they finished, they helped out the other guys. It's was cool seeing that camaraderie between us.

But I bet once the snow clears, they're gonna steal each others parking spots again. haha

[MG1]

Fricken hell......... it starts to rain just as I finish shovelling the sidewalks and driveway.

Not enough of the shit. I want like two feet of it.

And the fucking neighbor who always parked in front of his house jacked my spot, his house is 2 away from ours. So then I shoveled the a spot infront of the next house in between us so I had a parking spot, and packed the snow around his car.

According to the weather office the snowfall warning has ended, but it's still comming down full force in coquitlam. Wonder how long till the rain starts.
