I wanted to go out as well, but I'm like, I really don't want to take the risk of being stuck. lol, just not worth it.

GFS and GEM :thumbdown:
Richmond did decent.

HRDPS picked up on the pattern pretty well, too. And even the GFS consistently showed more north of the Fraser. There was a pretty clear pattern in the models, which is why I was so optimistic about my chances today.
It's called clown range for a reason.

I know you mean well, so I know it isn't meant to be rude, but jumping into things can make things worse. Especially when the post isn't about you or directed towards you.
Well I was sticking up for another member. Should I have stayed out of it? Not if I felt another member was being insulted. Should I have been more careful to get my facts straight before making assumptions? Yes, and I apologize for that. Now back to the weather. :thumbup:

Let’s be honest. If we’re in this forum, we are weenies. We’re a couple standard deviations from mean re: meteorology fascination from the general public. Reminds me of this commercial from the 90s.

Yikes.. the ice is already creating accidents
That is the current scene in Coquitlam also. Blue Mountain (a main 2 lane road) is complete ice and people are coming down like that. Same thing with the next hill over, Marmont. They really should close the hills down. Up top it looks clear but by the time you get to half way point and to the bottom it is complete ice. Snow tires or not... its not going to be pretty... unless you have studded tires.

I had to take quite the detour to get home just now.
