it took me just over 2.5 hours to drive from Sperling Burnaby Lake station on Lougheed Highway to Lougheed Town Centre, Lougheed from that station was a sea of red lights so I thought maybe Government Street will save something, but no. I left East Vancouver, stopped for gas at the RCSS on Grandview and the google maps originally advised I take Hwy 1, than changed it to Lougheed Hwy, Radio confirmed that Hwy 1 was a mess. So I chose Lougheed, it was ok throught Brentwood, than just from Sperling on was a thick blanket of snow and it was awful.
My BF said Surrey was fine, light snow nothing bad. Radio kept saying the south of the Fraser was fine, bare, no weather issues. North of the Fraser was the worst, they kept saying Burquitlam was a disaster. Anyway I finally get to my street which is near Austin and if you know that one its a steep climb and many vehicles were abandoned and many were spinning out trying to get up. I'm taking transit tomorrow, even though the snow is not forecast they got this possible "flurries" wrong. Had I known how bad it would get I would have left my car at work but Vancouver was like nothing going on around 2 pm.
I passed a Costco and the parking lot was nearly empty, I've never seen that before.
