[smokinreefer]

well, guess what? it's still snowing.

richmond, yah... my wife had to drive there to work...
she called me from brentwood... which would normally take just over 5min to get to... i took her 25 today... she said traffic was just backed up from here till tomorrow!

Yikes! Look at all that snow! Did they have to cancel all flights at Vancouver International Airport?

As the radio announcer said yesterday, 3-5 cm of snow in the Lower Mainland is like 3-5 feet of snow to the rest of Canada. Most of these LM drivers don't know how to drive in even 1 cm of snow. Heck, I've seen them forget how to drive in rain, if it hasn't rained in a month or so & that's in Vancouver where it might rain for half the year (it seems). Yeesh.
Luckily I'm a tutor so I don't have to go out today unless my students don't cancel. I also have a CR-V & am used to driving in snow & bad weather (knock on wood); although, I'll be the first to admit that a Honda CR-V is not the snow beast my old 4-Runner with 31" BFG All-Terrains was. Gave the beast to my little bro (Big Bro program) in Winterpeg.

How about a reef-tour guys & gals (JK).

Hope none of us get into an accident over the next few snowy days.

hahahhaha!

personally i like the snow... i like driving in it too...

only problem is, just about the rest of the GVRD doesnt!

which makes it not so fun for me anymore...

anyhoo... i wish it would get really deep so i could run around, or try to run around in it with my doggies! that would be loads of fun. but then i guess i would get even more sick.

man i am bored...

Well most of you guys on the coast or close to it prolly dont have the right tires for snow ... some all season radials are a joke and do more harm than good by giving the driver a false sense of confidence ... in my car ( '95 325i ) I have to use winter tires or else I would not get out of the driveway

Here in Calgary it has been snowing all day and my wife just came home to say that Deerfoot is a white-out with trucks pulled over on the side of the road due to reduced visibility

Tobaggoning anyone ?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Yeah, it's pretty sad. My sis-in-law already got into a rear-ender (she hit them) early this morning, even before the majority of the snow came down. Lower Mainlanders need to learn to slow down & keep adequate distances between vehicles , especially if they never bothered to winterize their cars.

Imagine if it were against the law to drive on snow days if you don't know how to do it or don't have snow tires. The streets around here would be empty with only people from other parts of BC & Canada allowed on the streets. Should be interesting to drive to my students' place later & see how many abandoned cars are out there. There's already a minivan almost blocking my back lane. Let's see now. If I push it back a little, it will block my lane & I don't have to go to work today. Hmmmm.

ok i used to live in the yukon when i was a kid.. we bombed around in a 73 toyota corolla so it has nothing to do with what kind or car you drive, rather than whos driving it. funny i was just chatting with my dad the other night about how the schools wouldnt close until it the temp was lower than -40! damn that was cold period in my life.
