you mean i actually have to slow down when the roads are covered with something SLIPPERY like snow and ice?

oh vancouver, when will you learn this simple concept?

DKaz · #**202** Posted **Dec 12, 2008, 8:37 PM**

Or put some winter tires on your car...

People in Vancouver tend to drive the same speed all year, which = to slow in clear good conditions and to fast in bad conditions.

Glad my exams are over. But this is a rite of passage for SFU students. Pretty much everyone has experienced walking up the mountain when their bus has stalled/crashed in the snow, or walked down the mountain when transit has been shut down and cars aren't moving.

They should build a gondola to SFU.

BTW We got very little snow in South Surrey.

Metro-One · #**206** Posted **Dec 12, 2008, 10:24 PM**

About 3 to 5 cam this morning in Metro-town, but much of that has been washed away with rain.

That's what I had in mind too....something like Whistler's Peak to Peak.

So it's snowing outside... freezing... -2 degrees. I was outside with the hose and I turned on the water... and guess what... within a few seconds it hit the ground, it turned into ICE instantly!

There wasn't supposed to be any precipitation today... but it's still snowing. It's not wet snow either which makes me more happy =)

Here on Vancouver's westside it is bone dry. I still have faith for a bit of white stuff by tomorrow morning. At least all of this cold makes it easy to study!

Metro-One · #**210** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 4:16 AM**

Light snow in metro-town for the past hour, the ground is just turning white (very thin)

Lead · #**211** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 4:26 AM**

i absolutely love snow...great driving weather

mr.x · #**212** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 5:52 AM**

it just started snowing here, some light flurries.....unfortunately it isn't heavy....at least not yet.

dreambrother808 · #**213** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 6:13 AM**

It's currently -30 here in Edmonton and I'm on my way out, because I'm a moron obviously... so count yourselves lucky.

entheosfog · #**214** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 7:06 AM**

Lots of snow falling in east van right now! Yay!

entheosfog · #**215** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 7:22 AM**

I see a snowfall warning has now been issued for Van. 5-10 cms to fall overnight.

Already have about 3 cms here on the westside. Yippee!

Metro-One · #**217** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 7:32 AM**

I am so happy that we may have a good snowfall in metro-van tonight, because since it is about to get really really cold a decent blanket of snow acts as a good insulator for all the local gardens. Still snowing in Metro, and i can hear some idiot right now in a truck trying to spin in it.

raggedy13 · #**218** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 8:06 AM**

Looks like 4-5cm so far here at UBC. It's been snowing here a little longer then the rest of the West Side I think. I went for a walk around 9pm and there was a thin layer starting to stick to the ground.

nname · #**219** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 8:29 AM**

The snow ends about 1 block away from my house. There's nothing here, no rain, no snow, and the ground is completely dry.

mr.x · #**220** Posted **Dec 14, 2008, 8:41 AM**

4-5 cms near UBC.
