How many snowfalls did we get this year? 10 -12 ?
I've been in vancouver since 96 and we use to get only 2-3 snow days
I'm gonna get all season tires next time instead of those slick ones I have now.

you bc'ers are nuts. me and my brother had to come to kelowna for today but highway 1 through banff was closed so we went the south route through fernie one the #3, got caught in kootanee pass, tore up the car a little bit and all while we are doing this there's other cars just passing us doing the regular speed limit and trucks just plowing right through everyone else. but we did get here safe with minor repairs that need to be done to the cobalt. thankfully it was his cobalt and not mine.
