Geez, that's bloody rough! Over here in Metro Van, -4 and chance of snow (maybe 4 cm) and they're a 'snowfall warning' is in effect! Yep, we're a bunch of whiners over here.

Yesterday at Port Moody I drove to Mass in the morning and because we had a visitor, used the Astro Van with regular 4-season tyres. There was a little snow on the ground before Mass, but just one hour later, I had 6 inches on my van!

Slipped and slid all the way home. Then drove out with the Benz (blizzak-equipped) and put paid to all those myths that a RWD can't handle snow Snow got washed away by rain by nightfall, but roads everywhere now are ice-covered! Geez.Gimme snow any day over ice
