Personally, I think they should all be here during Winter/Storm season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs a lot to change them. Thinking I gotta do it this week, but then I’ll have switch back in a couple months. Stupid climate change. OK Tire here charges $80 and $40 if they are on rims. Cedar Tire is the same I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Nanaimo was slush snow. No match for my mighty '84 Vanagon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Wet slushy snow by the airport in Powell river- maybe an inch worth. Just enough to cover the drive way, but the roads were all clear. Now raining, and the wind should start gusting up to 50k in an hours or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the rain I find difficult. It's ok if one is prepared and has had some experience and doesn't drive around like a jackass. My first few snow driving attempts helped me really gain a good appreciation for preparedness, and now that I've had about a dozen or so winters of snowfall driving under my belt (the first few with a FWD, the last bunch with an AWD), I kind of know what to expect and how to prepare and what to avoid. Can't say the same about many of my fellow drivers out there, especially on the first day of snowfall in a season. They all seem to chicken out after that first snowfall day though, which makes the rest of the season's driving so much better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just moved back to Victoria from Edmonton so I will bitterly complain about any and all snow. I paid twice as much for a house half the size to escape winter, damn it.
