With snow tires? I was about to drive into Burnaby from White Rock but wasn't sure if i want to or not...

Yup with snow tires... but I'm located on a hill in Port Moody and on a street that wasn't plowed.

I had no problem yesterday in the snow in PoCo. If Possible, try backing into your garage and start out in second gear.

I got to UBC no problem. Running with General Altimax with snow mode.

UBC is like winter Wonderland... Holy sh*t.

I guess I will organize a mini-meet for you guys who can't make it to the 23rd.

I wish I could go out for a drive right now, but I'm stuck in my office.

kidgogeta · 12-19-2012, 04:34 PM

Got to work this morning no problem on my Gislaved Nordfrosts, although it does look a little worse out there now...

Day and night with snow tire! Try to get our customer's car to detail, stuck before the gate. Mine with General Altimax too. Can't believe how good this snow tire is!

DaJo · 12-19-2012, 08:08 PM

Got home fine!... I was stuck at the station with CMs of snow surrounding my car...and my car was the only one there when I got off...

Getting out was tough even with snow tires... Had to disable VSC/TCS to rev the rear wheels out of the snow banks.

So when you guys are stuck in the snow; hold the TSC OFF to turn it off completely and then rev your way out carefully. Once you are clear; turn all the nannies back on for road driving.

Wasn't too bad in the morning...

Finally home after all the slow traffic...

When would you guys like to meet up for the plate frames?
