Yay. Traffic wasn't terrible today, but with those conditions forecasted for tomorrow, it seems like a spending hours in traffic type of day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Just heard from my boss, the shop I work at isn't opening today because they are calling for more snow. Yay, more snow. Not like my shoulder isn't fucked or anything. But hey, another snow day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, sounds like something similar to a block heater is the solve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo they want to keep the oil in the battery block thawed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from peripheral reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snow on the Island unless you are in Campbell River area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 4.5-5 inches now, seems to slow down for a couple minutes, then gets grey and really snowy again. A very large plus side is we aren't in California, they are getting hammered by a snow/tornado/hurricane thingy-fortunately no sharks, as of yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
