you leave the same time and I got to work on time, you must been speedning through the roads! 飛車手

I'm at work, 90% less cars on the roads this morning than usual. But the driving conditions are really bad.

作者: qqmaro 時間: 2008-12-22 09:23

Getting in the parking lot is bad, my car almost got stuck

No community bus this morning. It is impossible to walk to West Coast Express station. Called Manager and she asked me to stay home and make a note that I work at home...yeah! She also proposed to our owner to close the office on Christmas eve. What a great Manager!

@ work around 9 today. Traffic so slow.... saw a C9 stuck on the road (actually right outside her parkade) with her BMW (wonder how many BMW owners don't know that their cars are rear wheel driven... except the x series).. she was trying to dig snow out with her bare hands. I hope she turn back in the parking... cos that's dangerous for other drivers if she stays on the road.

Also saw a few more cars stuck on the way.

Mine totally has no problem la.

well without snow tires... they still don't have the grip... and X-drive isn't true all time all wheel drive anyway.

I can't even make it out from my driveway. Working from home now.

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-12-22 11:03

I took bus to come to work and it took 1.5 hours more than I drove.

本來就唔駛返工.....

不過我怕路面太多雪, 出唔到去....X_X

尤其係上Cypress....

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-12-22 11:44

yup working right now...not much problem going to work this morning, took me about the same time as normal days, except that I wasted 15 mins to clear the snow on my car before I can drive it

I was sliding a bit too be no big deal. I have 4 seasons and front wheel drive.

anyone knows how good are Chains/Cables for tire? Where to get them?

update:
TESTS:

So chain/cables are as good as snow tires!

I think snow tires make a big difference. My previous cars were all FWD but they all have snow tires. I had no problem going up and down slopes in south bby and down the unsalted I5 even thro bad snowy days. (a few times it was like tracks with edges made of packed ice, so my car was going down like a train and changing lane was tough but possible)

作者: ACooperFan 時間: 2008-12-22 16:45

main roads are ok....but i saw so many cars get stuck on side streets/back alleys...i took the bus home instead of being picked up....will bus again tomorrow

作者: Mini 時間: 2008-12-22 23:04

bus and skytrain to work today. not much problem except both bus and skytrain were a little slower than usual. still got to work b4 deadline. my company's snow policy is, if there is public transit and the condition is safe, you should still go to work, eventhough you'll arrive 3 hours late.
btw, went to fill up gas tonight. the gas station was out of regular fuel and offer supreme plus with regular price. i guess the gas refill trucks are not able to fill gas at the stations so they are out of regular gas. filled supreme plus (94 octane) with 77.9 only. hehe.

rear wheel drive cars handle better in snow then FWD.

but with the snow this deep, only proper 4WD w/ low range SUV with proper tires can make it through. a lot of side street are over a foot deep. most small SUV do not have the clearance. i wish i can play with my cayenne or Q7 in these kind of snow... raise up the air suspension and set the AWD for off road LOL.

作者: fibbi 時間: 2008-12-22 23:35

took a day off today. Impossible to drive out of the house. Took 3 hours to just clear the snow at the back lane.
But tomorrow can definitely go. I'm just worried about Wednesday...

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-12-23 09:31

I drove to work today. Since it might be another big snow coming, I figure why not just drive while I can....

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2008-12-23 10:34

Today's much better than yesterday...

作者: Nam 時間: 2008-12-23 11:41
