Be careful coming out this way. Slippery everywhere. Tons of snow out this way.

Tight lines!
Thats for sure, an hour to clean the driveway and is building up again. ::)

Quite heavy here in Langley as well. My slump buster may have to wait.

Winds still blowing with about 2 feet of snow where we live, a few brave souls out there, braving the roads and the wind.

We tried briefly today before my buddy broke his rod.

We were using the one tonne deisel and could barely get off the road in the upper river above tamihi. Brand new tires and 4x4. It'll be totally inaccessible tomorrow with how hard it's snowing now unless the plowed clear some pull outs.

Tough walking too with snow well over the knees!

Totally true.  Conditions here in Chilliwack are brutal, snow is still falling and the wind is still blowing.  20" of snow on my truck that I can't get out of my driveway.  Side roads have not been plowed and probably won't be for several days.

Side roads don't get plowed here in the Wack. We live on a school street and it dos not get plowed. Pretty sad. And as far as fishing pull outs getting plowed? LMAO!

Had to haul a load out to vedder road last night. My first time coming out there since Friday.
It's like a whole other world out there. Cars completely burried under snow drifts on Evans road and south sumas. Just antennas poking out.

Not much snow overnight but drifting snow on the north south roads. Wind died down some from last night. Just got back from a trip to town, driving conditions were good but will leave the river fishing to the young and brave.

Nice sunny day but drifting snow because of the high winds in spots but I found driving good however some drivers still donot learn to drive for the conditions.

In a hurry to find a snow bank I guess.

Looks like there's been a pretty good spike in the graph. Wonder if there'll be trees floating down the river by the weekend😜
