I've seen it happen in BC too, specifically this past November driving to Vancouver. We drifted all the way across the Park Bridge (about 200 meters long) over the Kicking Horse River. It was literally the most terrifying/exciting experience of my life, but I almost died of heart failure. I don't think any of us took a breath for 50 seconds.  |
During cold and snowy periods of certain winters, it's not uncommon for less-travelled tertiary highways and country/mountain roads to remain snow-covered for a few weeks at a time here. But never for more than a couple of hours for expressways nor for the main two-lane highways either.
