Jokes on me. I sent them from Burnaby to annacis island at 2:30pm! Hoping they would arrive before any substantial accumulation…. Nope.,Finally after them being stuck on the Queensborough bridge for hours, a nice cop asked my plow guys to plow the bridge if they move the cars for them. They said yes obviously. Thank goodness the made to annacis island but….. now they are stuck in the gridlock of everyone and there dog trying to get of the island, so the can’t even get to the properties on the island that they need to plow. I guess the one good thing in all of this is that it is going to warm up in the early am so it won’t be a sheet of ice out there!
Wish me luck! :flakey: :flakey:
Well, you tried your best. Tonight was just insane for so many reasons.

Many are saying it's the worst The Lower Mainland has ever done in a snowstorm with multiple routes closed or too treacherous to get through. Apparently a LOT of people had 5-7 hour commutes tonight, some people abandoned their cars to just walk and others just stayed overnight at work or a hotel. I heard hotels are booked up everywhere.

I wonder what happened that made today way worse of a nightmare than usual? Was it the high precip rates? Time of day? Pure chance that many routes plus their alternates were a mess?

In any case, tonight will go down in history for many people. I wonder if we will get any insight into why it was SO bad.
I am currently wondering if there will be school tomorrow for my daughter. :think:

Haha, I STILL don't sleep but at least the weather is entertaining me tonight. My health is wayyyy better than it was, thanks for asking. :) Still not perfect but I have chronic issues so it's to be expected. Currently my thyroid is misbehaving and so insomnia is plaguing me lately but it's all good when I have some interesting weather to watch!

Snowing here again, quite heavily.

It is amazing since Covid have many people don't want to work and how many companies are screaming for employees, but that's for another thread.

This is madness. I am basically stuck at work. Alex Fraser is closed and the tunnel is down to 1 lane Southbound. I guess I am sleeping at work. :lol:

Snowing at a pretty good rate all the way from Chilliwack to Abbotsford. Traffic is light and doing 80, just like the signs are telling them...feel sorry for the morning commuters

I can’t ever recall there being this much chaos on the roads during a snowstorm.

What the heck is going on.

This is next level insanity.

That sucks Bono.

Better to be stuck there then in that traffic mess though.

Maybe a room at the Fairmont? :mrgreen:
