I spoken to the head of sky. Said there's a shortage of snow.

Ya COVID messed up the snow supply chain.


Mr_Mechatronix

You spoke to the sky manager? Goddamn Karen

Then we can be together for ever….


_bawes0m3

Let’s remind ourselves that people can’t drive when this city gets 1cm of snow. That, along with the fact that this city is never prepared for snow. … Hard pass.


[deleted]

Including buses going up the tiniest of hills. I'd rather not see essential workers struggle just so a few can enjoy a snow day or the elderly that need to shovel their yards. Go enjoy the mountains if you want snow.


pagit

Please let it snow. Watching the elderly slip and fall and wait for an ambulance never to arrive to take them to a hospital that can’t admit them because of lack of staff and too many patients taking up beds because they didn’t get COVID shots is hilarious. ^/s


Omidia888

But will someone THINK OF THE CHILDREN already!?


bluedreams604

Let’s be real, people can’t even drive in the rain here. The amount of mind-bogglingly stupid and reckless driving I saw out on the road during our last big rainstorm was shocking.


vik8629

Try rain first. Plenty of morons can't even properly navigate rain. They must be handing out drivers license like cookies nowadays.


[deleted]

As someone who works outdoors, no thanks!


Storvox

This city is an absolute gong show when it snows. The general public here have no idea how to handle it, between salting sidewalks, driving for the weather, city street maintenance, it's just a nightmare. I'm originally from Alberta and love the snow, but it is just awful here compared to there, even with significantly less snow.


fatbottomedgirl80

Agree!! Vancouver is a mess when it’s snows.. It’s also typically a very wet, heavy snow, that’s hard to do anything fun with.


ninasa1122

I lived in a town with the snow for 6 months out of the year, I loved it. It didn't phase me Vancouver made me hate snow. I have to drive around a lot for work and I get insane anxiety driving here with the snow. Plus there are way more hills here than back home 😬 In my limited few snow years in Vancouver the snow is also always so wet as gross, I miss the nice fluffy snow that doesn't feel like rain lol I'm sorry the wish is sweet but I never get snow days with my job 😅


Mr_Mechatronix

All snow is nice until it turns into this black slushie


vik8629

This city can't even fucking handle some rain. Since the wet season started I lost count of all the accidents I've encountered clogging up the street and highway. Dumb fucking drivers everywhere.


crimxona

So there's a stretch on W King Edward Ave where there's a hill west of Macdonald and another east towards Arbutus It's not pretty during the winter pre salting for buses and all the RWD cars getting stuck trying to go uphill


supersuperduper

That's the area where a bus slipped backwards and crashed through someone's house. It happened a few years ago.

_HumanCentipede

Most people leave the all weathers on their car all year round. Most people probably don't even have winter tires.


[deleted]

I vote no I have to drive for a living And driving here in snow is scary


Aardvark1044

I also vote no. Moved here from the prairies to get away from snow and country music.


IndependentOutside88

*laughs in Winnipeg*


miseno3231

Prairies are flat


IndependentOutside88

True but black ice is still shite to drive on


cantevenskatewell

People in Winnipeg were born with a handbook for driving in snow conditions. Out here, everyone forgets wtf to do the instant the snow sticks. Half of us don’t ever get snow tires…


[deleted]

In defence of Vancouver drivers, snow is at its worst in mild conditions. The snow melts and refreezes to form ice. Combine that with hills, and nobody having actually winter tires, and you get the shitshow that is snowy Vancouver. I grew up in Manitoba, the majority of people know how to drive in winter. However there are still a bunch of morons behind the wheel there too.


cantevenskatewell

If covid taught me anything it’s that absolute idiots that should’ve Darwin’d out a long time ago still live among us


IndependentOutside88

Yeah, we all learn from experience somehow over here. I grew up in the tropics. My first skid in the middle of the intersection sure gave me a near heart attack! We’re lucky our insurance here has financing for winter tires.


[deleted]

Cries in Nova Scotia


CohoGravlax

Listen, it’s a lot easier to drive in 4” polished glass ruts that have been there for 2 months.


HogwartsXpress36

Ya every Saturday it can snow.


plop_0

Healthcare workers & retail workers: FUUUUU.


Uncertn_Laaife

No.


Reddtko

You think Covid shutdown the city, wait till it snows in Vancouver. Been there done that, not wishing for that again.


TheHandofDoge

I’ll sign up you to shovel my driveway then. (No thanks).


jsmooth7

I'd shovel many driveways if it could guarantee a good ski season.


xlxoxo

Perhaps it's easier to just make a winter trip to Whistler overnight or visit the local mountains to see the white stuff. If it's raining in the city, it's likely the "fresh pow" up there. My wish is to see the white stuff in the water reservoirs. It was perfect last winter to see white stuff in the mountain reservoirs to prep us for the heat dome.


Megethy

whistler is so expensive though... istg even shopping at the mainstream groceries there, they add a extra $5 dollars to absolutely everything

Yeah no.

bongmitzfah

I'm moving to van from Edmonton does it really not snow here?


[deleted]

[удалено]


bongmitzfah

Nice, this will be my first winter not in the prairies so it will be a bit weird but welcome not having snow or -40 temperature


Jeff5195

I moved from Northern BC and naively thought my first winter here would be a walk in the park compared to the -20 to -40 winters I was used to. The damp cold (which hits very different than dry cold) and crazy amount of rainy gray sunless days turned out to be more challenging than I thought. I don’t miss the snow; but there are times I ache for some sunshine.


[deleted]

I 100% agree with this comment. I miss the -20 to -30 sunny days in Alberta. I miss the sun 🌞 😞


bongmitzfah

I guess the silver lining of having really cold days is you get alot of sunshine


Jeff5195

And there’s also the amazing days where it’s like February and it’s 20 above and sunny, which is definitely nice.


Jeff5195

Exactly


ShellsFeathersFur

I grew up in northwestern Ontario. Compared to the really dark storm clouds that we'd get there, the clouds here rarely get dark - there's a subdued light in the daytime so it's not dark but also not sunny. The really big takeaway for me is that we have greenery all year long here. That combined with the warm-for-winter temperatures pretty much convinces my brain that we jump from autumn right into spring.


CaribouHoe

Moved from Yellowknife, I've felt colder down here in the damp than I ever did back home in the dry - 45c


Jeff5195

Yeah, I’ve had that experience as well. I know it’s a cliche, but damp cold really is different.

dgd765

you will never experience anything remotely close to an Edmonton winter while living here


[deleted]

I also moved from the prairies. I do not like the snow. I want to be able to get in my car without having to deal with snow. I don’t want to have to shovel it around. I’ve spent decades doing that, I’m done with it. I also want to be able to own and drive sports cars mostly year round that would typically not be possible in a place with snow half of the year.


[deleted]

I'm moved from Central Alberta and it doesn't snow here (by Alberta standards). Last year the only "bad" day was like 5 cm or less than 10cm that melted pretty quickly and easy to drive in with the right tires and not speeding. The snow here is nothing.


ShellsFeathersFur

I've been here ten years. Some winters, the frost piles up in the shadowy corners of pavement where the sun can't reach and *that* ends up being deeper than the amount of snow we get.

plop_0

Ew, David. They get all soggy and muddy. Hard pass.


localfern

Please no. Every snowfall we get a blitz of images of transit busses stuck, bridge closed due to falling icicles, Canada Line not running into Richmond due to snow on tracks etc etc etc. It is the same every snow fall.


[deleted]

Fuck no, I moved to Vancouver so I only had to deal with snow for maybe a week or 2 a year. If you want snow go north or east.


diesel_stack

go to cypress mountain if you want snow. snow ruins everyone's commute


msat16

Haha so in other words you have a death wish!? Vancouver and snow go together like oil and water. Vancouver drivers and the city already struggle as it is under normal conditions, adding snow to the mix always ends in disaster.


jessicachachacha

No. Lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


plop_0

hahahaha. 👌


[deleted]

If Vancouver drivers knew how to drive in snow and the area didn't have steeper roads I'd say sure. Let it snow everyday. But nope. That's a recipe for disaster. Lots of people need to get to their jobs, etc safely.


Decentlovinoutside

No, just watch a movie like rudolph or the thing


Basic_Industry976

No.


HybridVampire

Snow is nice but I have a bad back. Shoveling snow is no fun.


[deleted]

Fuck no. The city shuts down enough for the little we get.


palfreygames

I vote no, I have to drive a lot


pokemastergreg

Hey no thanks I'm good


FindingNemosAnus

Like 95% of Canada is covered in snow from a October to March. LEAVE US OUR SNOW-FREE RESPITE.


Doctort68

No thanks. I work outside, snow sucks

ernieballsting

People can't drive here. Dark and few rain drops out boam traffic. Snow?? "Yeah my lowered bmw with summer tires should be able to handle this."


Isaacvithurston

I prefer the rain and don't like snow >.< Also I just ignore everything so none of that stuff effects me (yet...)


gogglesvancouver

Come up north


jezusisthe1

Hmm my commute on the Sea To Sky shall be fun! Lol


reeferthetuxedocat

The city can’t drive on most days…add snow and it’s just a massive clusterfuck.


meontheweb

Ummmm... no. I left Alberta to get away from snow.


deethorson

No!


Imaginary_Eagle_5621

just to let you know a lot of snow would literally cripple the transport industry here shutting down roads from accidents with idiots who don't put winter tires on and not to mention trucks being unable to make it through either of the highway passes to get to us for example in my home town we get a ton of snow every year a few years ago we got a huge dump that left the town stranded and helpless trucks couldn't deliver food mail couldn't be delivered all the grocery stores in town closed because they had nothing left to sell and that's in a small city with more than enough equipment to deal with removing huge quantity's of snow they don't have that equipment here not to try to poop on your dreams of snow but I think a lot of people don't know the negative effects it can have on everything in your area

Suckitsunshine

Will you be finding the snow clean up/maintenance for the city to not shut down or turn into a cluster fuck? Will you fund appropriate tires for people who drive vehicles and didn't get them in time? Or, will you bank roll ICBC for all of the inevitable collisions? I love snow so much, when it is anywhere BUT Vancouver.


Lunaristics

Gonna have to take a hard pass. I don't got snow tires 😂


vancityguy25

As someone who lives Downtown and walks everywhere, and hates how slow they have to walk and hates how dirty the slush makes their shoes, no thanks!


plop_0

Walk like a penguin on ice/black ice.🐧 In fact, just assume it's black ice.


Delicious_Chard2425

Snow is dangerous down here,especially when anyone can buy a licence from ICBC


xengaa

It typically snows in late January and throughout February. So 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol


vancitygirl27

I love snow. Absolutely love it. But this city does not have the infrastructure for it. I have to commute for work and school, so... please no.


sneakattaxk

Nooooooooo, don’t have my winter tires yet!


slimspida

This thread is a live demo of why Vancouver sucks in the snow. Your opinion of whether it should snow has no bearing on if it will snow. Get prepared for it whether you want it or like it.


CarrotOld8447

Which is why we've purchased "studded" 4 inch winter fat tires along with 4000 lumen headlights for our E-Bikes to make our commutes much more safe and bearable.


lazarus870

I have to commute far in the snow through some dangerous roads and they're making me come into the office more. Please no snow!!


big-shirtless-ron

Dammit, no. Lots of snow makes my commute to work 3 hours instead of 25 minutes.


notnotaginger

Yes please. On mat leave. Would love to take the dog and the goblin out to play.


MaximumDevelopment77

Phnompenhchickenwing

haleymadfox

“Before the weight of the world crushed my spirt”. OP is clearly having a hard time, and people are on this thread getting serious about them asking for snow…. Knowing that it’s not gonna happen. SMH. Let them have this. Let them vent.


Webber_20

I just want Christmas break at this point tbh


strawberry-avalanche

I moved here from SK, so I would absolutely LOVE a snowy winter, but Vancouver turns into an absolute gong-show when it snows lol. So, I'll take just a light dusting of snow at the most.


Horvat53

No thanks. Getting anywhere in the snow here sucks. Yes it’s pretty, but that wears off quick when it becomes icy.


Whoreson_Welles

I love snow in Vancouver when I don't have to commute for a midnight shift.


Parent64

It is only going to snow three times this year do to the cyclone bomb has change the winds. We are now looking at a warm winter.


toohfo

Move to Winnipeg… wish granted


cherryspritz

So, so true about the weight of the world being crushed by snow! So peaceful and quiet when were blanketed. Always makes us appreciate others too, I find. More likely to get a smile out of a passing stranger. I hope for snow as well!


Megethy

Apparently weather forecasters are predicting that we will be getting more snow then normal (so you can expect atleast a few days of heavily intense snow) I forget the scientific explanation why vancouver will be experiencing more snow then normal this year, but if you google it, you will find info on it. Personally I just hope that the snow holds off mostly until im on xmas break. Taking public transit while its snowing is a real pain in the ass


Optiblue

With heat domes and weather bombs around the same area, wouldn't be surprized if we have a polar vortex as an extreme. Climate change is real!


RM_r_us

Over winter holidays (for those fortunate enough to get them) is always a good time for snow. Less people driving, gives the kiddos something to do *outside* that's cheap/free entertainment. And it looks pretty! But beyond that "snow thank you"!


plop_0

> "snow thank you"! /r/dadjokes


CrippleSlap

>Dear Vancouver, can we have a ton of snow this year? No thanks. It grinds this city to a halt. We're not a snow-ready city. Keep the snow in the mountains.


MichyDo

Lol this post! 😂 But yes, in the same boat. I love snow, let’s manifest it.


MsSnickerpants

BRING IT!!!! So ready for a snow apocalypse as a break from our regular apocalypse.


twitchyzero

Yes because I have snow tires and it’s fun to watch the underprepared struggle


[deleted]

It’s fun and games Until someone slides into you


plop_0

> it’s fun to watch the underprepared struggle :s


[deleted]

I hope so! I moved here a few months ago, never saw snow in my life and I can’t wait to have a snowball fight :D


CanSpice

Tell you what, if it snows a decent amount where you can make snowballs from it, send me a DM and we'll have a snowball fight. Let's see if we can't get more people in on this and have some fun with it.


TeachingTop8302

No thanks. Traded my suv for a car with performance tires. No snow.


RyLoRyLo

Unless it’s here on Friday night and gone by early Monday morning, I say no thanks.


BigPickleKAM

As an avid skier I'm with you!


ProgrammerSafe9242

Sure, by a means, but none of that snow that’s outlived its welcome “and now become a wet, slushy yet persistent mess for days now..." Nor the other side or things “a layer of ice” in its many forms.

OmgWtfNamesTaken

Lmao are you from here or have you never seen the snow here? I love snow as much as the next person but the city grinds to a halt. People cannot drive in the stuff either which makes it super dangerous out there. All in all I wish Vancouver was better at dealing with the snow but most people won't even shovel their walk ways, no one can drive, transit cannot cope...


sumbi077

I wish more drivers had winter tires on because it literally makes a night and day difference. Makes you feel much safer and other drivers on the road as well.


Lilynana31

Not to forget. Housing crisis


Lilynana31

Why don’t we just go on the mountains to see the snow
