Ensembles settling on a week + of at times wintry weather for the lower mainland #YVR beginning on the weekend. Alpine snowpack the biggest beneficiary as mean atmospheric temperatures hover daily at lower levels right at the rain-snow borderline. If you took the snow tires off, put 'em back on :)

#DBCalert: Highway 1 Northbound | Major incident | At Shawnigan Lake Rd | 4 km south of Malahat Summit | Road cleared.

NO surprise. The plan was universally hated, albeit for different reasons. Some disliked lack of 4 lanes and others were unhappy with the environmental impact.

No surprise the Malahat Goldstream median project has been Cancelled. 1) Govt has no money 2) Everyone hated the plan, but for different reasons. Some hated that it was not 4 lanes and others hated the environmental impact.

Having a cybertruck with a plate CYBRTRK is like someone sticking their head up their own ass.
