There's a thread on here to the "experts" regarding my battery that has pretty much stayed on track. I will admit that that phenomena is indeed rare.
Pretty sure the one about me being a douche stayed on topic. Also beer and babes.

She is a rodeo and take your chances driving into or out of BC.
Looks like a person would have to head North.

Probably best to sit somewhere comfortable till this storm blows over I would say...
That would be the smart move Richard. Lol. Now how many will take that advice?

Not sure.
It is amazing how people will greatly increase their "Risk Tolerance"...

I prefer not to get smoked out by another driver...
Or myself, cause a serious accident.

I personally dont think the same manpower has been diverted to the detour route for maintanance of the roads.

Could be wrong. |But I dont beleive it should take over 10 hours to drive approx 95km...

Someone has to take responsibiity and make a safety call to close the roads........

Just unreal. from all the reports and photos I have seen.

December 01 cant come soon enough to open the Golden route for the winter.

You had to drive in the south bound lane to get by all the morons parked behind an abandoned car or spun out trucks.

Forester was getting nuked Sunday afternoon- wonder what happened overnight into Monday?

Buddy was up another spot close by today and almost 2m. Heavy west coast snow, should be a good base now
Pardon my ignorance fellas?

Is Forrester North of Radium thru the detour?

What were the road conditions, and how was it for the plow trucks keeping up to allow the traffic rerouted from highway 1 to flow?
