Midweek coffee/rides.

[Steve G.]

   I'll be at coffee.

[Fatkid]

Good to hear you are back in action. See you tomorrow.

[Galactica]

Hey Bucko, will you be at coffee tomorrow?  If so, I’ll bring your packages.

Cheers,
Ross

[Bucko]

Yes, I'll be there.  Thanks Ross.

[Jodea]

Can’t make it today, see you next week.

[Steve G.]

  Any thoughts on coffee tomorrow, re: the weather forecast Wednesday morning?  My vehicle is highly capable  in the conditions they are forecasting, but others may be not comfortable with those conditions.

[Galactica]

I won’t be going anywhere tomorrow.  Freezing rain turning to snow overnight through tomorrow.  Sounds like the valley will really get slammed.

[Steve G.]

  Perhaps Thursday??

[Galactica]

Possibly Thursday.  Depends on if/how much it snows and how much gets packed down.

[Jodea]

Yes, Thursday maybe a better option. News tonight said up to 25cm by midday. My car and I are capable, but in this area, others are not, and I won’t risk it.

[Steve G.]

  Tentatively Thursday then.

[Galactica]

Not likely I’ll venture out tomorrow either.  We have well over 20cm of snow already.  Still puking down.  Supposed to stay cold with more snow later tomorrow.

Yesterday in the village of Maple Ridge the idiot alert took hold several hours before any snowfall was to arrive.   The work vehicles were salting, sanding and preparing the roads for the onslaught ahead.  Sounds of grinding and twisting of metal and the honking of horns as many use to signal they are not stopping at stop signs or red lights.   The sounds of floored engines in low gears surrounded us.   Now that the snow is upon us   it would seems staying on the roadways are merely a suggestion for some.   It is now quiet here and just waiting for the villagers to return home in a day or two with new vehicles mostly with custom signage on them from several body shop companies.   We have 9 inches here right now and still coming down hard.   Looks like it is time for me to dress warmly, grab a fold away chair and a giant popcorn and head down to the street corner and sit and watch the show for a while.
Garage time can wait until later!

  City of Surrey has been very aggressive the last week with salt brine and huge amounts of salt on the roads. Which have done sweet bugger all towards snow management. Confirmed a full 12” on the hood of my truck 10 minutes ago. I have no worries with the capability of my little 4x4 Ranger with new Toyo snowflake trrrain tires, I’m able to push through 3’ of fresh snow , just pushing it out of the way. It’s always the other low IQ entities with driving practices in alignment with their former homes in tropical regions of the world, ill equipped vehicles and completely incapable skills.

Did I fail to mention to unplug your electric car during this cold snap.   The government has told BC and Alberta they might have black outs from over usage.

Anyone know where we can purchase a couple bags of coal?
