We haven't seen one go down McIver yet today. Typical BS yet again this year. The only way the road is getting plowed is by the vehicles going down it. Well off to work in the city....should be a wonderful drive. LOL!

Plows just went through my area about 5-10 minutes ago but I'd still stay off the roads.

Haven't heard a one yet but hopefully the highways are being maintained.

I've been out a couple of times today and the roads are not the best. The drivers are worse.
Why do they think it's ok to run red lights when it's snowing? Slow down!

The "West Kelowna"" roads are a joke. I just watched a bus spin all the way up the dip on Webber road. Lowest bidder is a hack. Pick-up trucks with a plow on the front. Costco plow with a costco sander and you could roll in cash next year.

I must be young and dumb, because the unplowed roads are my favorite :)

uuum... does this dry fluffy stuff even need to be plowed ?

I mean , when it stops snowing ok,clean it before there's a thaw and refreeze , but if good tires and some weight in the trunk won't do, perhaps some training in winter conditions are in order.

Agreed, it's adding up and even driving home from Capri Mall at 2:15 had some interesting fishtailing going on in front of me.

I stayed well back and didn't go out after all.

We just got home and our little car with BRAND NEW snow tread made it just fine...

Yeah it's getting deep out there , but we made it.. No plows around here..

Might not need the all wheeler after all.

Just sayin.

Yup my FWD Van was awesome, definitely impressed me. With the untouched 6"+ deep stuff yeah it's a bit wallowy, but I'm pretty sure anything would be. Barely any wheelspin taking off too... braking was great.. Good snow tires make all the difference in this stuff!
