FF Driving in the snow FTW

Hey guys,

I'm sure a lot of you had a chance to drive in the snow tonight. EPIC fails all the way from Downtown to Richmond. Among the dead: Ford Mustang, Subaru Impreza, BMW 1 series, a Mercedes CLK, a Volvo and plenty of shit boxes.

The Volvo was almost going sideways down Granville St near W16th.

Conditions?
~ 4 inches of snow build up in total, ~ 2 inches on the roads

The route?
UPHILL burrard street (from Comox)
UPHILL granville street (from W16th)

My set up?
Falken Ziex All-Seasons 205-15-50 ~95% tread
Rota C8's

Most annoying part of a 1h15min drive home?

People driving 20km/h in Richmond on flat roads with no cars in front of them.

_________

GFG.
