Canada is Paralyzed! Heavy Snow Storm in Vancouver, BC 

No, Vancouver is paralyzed. To the rest of us Canadians its just another snowy day.

Bro. Canada doesn't get paralyzed even in -50 C.

Sensationalist BS ! Canada is not paralyzed ! The rest of the country is just fine , thank you.

OMG I cannot stop laughing,,,,,, this must be an American channel, in love with talking about Canada's weather, while their own is a mixed bag of everything! And, no Canada, is not paralyzed, we are doing just fine here in the province of B.C.....Well, other than Vancouver that is. The Vancouver people, see they don't think they need to buy winter tires, they enjoy the sensation of sliding all over the road, and slamming into other vehicles! It is a good way to meet people! It is a bit of a winter sport there. Bless their souls. 🚙

10 to 20 cm of snow in Ontario is not a huge event. Buffalo just had 50 cm of snow and had a football game the next day. It is all about being prepared and having enough of the right equipment and trained staff.

It's been below -30 for the better part of 2 weeks where I live and it's life as normal. Even most of B.C is find in these conditions. We are not paralyzed in any way.

Living in Vancouver I don’t feel paralyzed. And, I don’t think it’s Jan 117.

Canada is paralyzed?? BC is one province out of ten and they freak when there's 2 centimeters of snow.

I loved when it snowed on Vancouver Island. Everything shut down including schools. I live in Alberta now and no school ever gets a snow day haha

It’s only Vancouver and the lower mainland that gets paralyzed because most don’t have proper winter tires and have no winter driving experience. I’m in Kamloops BC and the rest of BC that gets harsher winter and most of us still drive. British Columbia alone is larger than just Vancouver let alone Canada. Lol

This brings back memories of when I used to live in Vancouver. I would sit in my apartment at the bottom of Arbutus and watch people slide down the hill into each other. I liked to take my Suzuki Samurai out at 3:00am when the streets were empty and play by driving through snow drifts and sliding around corners. It was so slippery that I could do it all in slow motion.

If you can make out the shape of a snowdrift as being a car. . . It's not alot of snow

The title of this video shows that the person who posted this video either doesn't live in Canada or never goes out of Vancouver There isn't a single city in Canada, except Vancouver, that would be paralyzed by this little snow. What we see in this video wouldn't even be called a storm in most of Canada...

Eu aqui em casa (StºAndre/SP/Brasil), reclamando do calor de 30 Cº neste momento...Parei de reclamar!!!

This Only Strengthens My Resolve ... "BECAUSE , I , I'M CANADIAN!"

I love it when Hongcouver gets a reminder it's in Canada there goes are insurance rates. Got to - 42 like Elk valley gets rid of cold virus- pine beetle and no homeless robberies.

Canada is not paralyzed! We get winter every year. If people don’t buy snow tires, it’s on them!

Hey, kids, It's winter time. It's supposed to snow. Been doing it for millions of years.

Well, we got about the same in Finland today! Life goes on😂😂

Simplemente maravilloso video, reímos, lloramos, nos motivamos a perseverar en nuestras metas, Waow no hay más palabras… Irving mis respetos, es una delicia disfrutar su sonrisa, su emoción por los logros de su amada🥰Gracias chicos por compartir esta vida que solo es de paso pero muy linda, e invitarnos a distancia convivir con tan hermosísima familia, bella señora, pediremos mucho por ella en nuestro rosario a la Virgen, y claro por Razvan que son los que veían a diario al papá ☹️ un fuerte abrazo! Los queremos muchísimo! Desde California y desde el corazón enviamos nuestros mejores deseos ❤😘

In Alberta, we call this Wednesday. Have FUN Karens😅😅😅

That's standard weather for Québec, lol Considering that in Québec, we have only 2 seasons... construction and winter.

Just saying.. there is MORE snow in BC than where I am in ALBERTA... BUT we did get the Cold 🥶 -43

the reason most people are underprepared is because we got a ton of snow on Wednesday night, and by Friday it will be warm and raining. most people think we dont get enough winter to need to prepare

Thanks, Wild Weather US. May your snowfall be minimal in comparison.

So what your saying its really just another day in Calgary. We don't shut schools because its cold ;) Cheers from AB!

In Vancouver snow is called white death.

Canada is a continent-wide, coast to coast country with wide range of different weathers and climates in different provinces and regions . Please do not claim falsehoods and lies.

Vancouver can’t handle snow

This is an area where it usually rains snow is not really that common the big problems are way too many with all seasons or rain tires. hardly anyone actually knows how to drive in the snow. so larger dumps that you wouldn't notice on the prairies are critical hits.

There is a law in Canada that all passenger vehicles must have all four wheels with dedicated snow tires by December 1st. I don't know if it applies to all provinces but it does in Quebec.

Get your headlines straight, Canada is quite a bit bigger than just portion of BC.

o m g .. dont hear any globalists screaming about global warming now eh ...awfully quiot when it gets cold and snowy !!!!!

The world has changed *Nam myoho rengekyo* 🙏 pray 🌍 peace 🕊️ be safe///

I’m in Montreal and is business as usual. Roads are nicely clean always.

I can promise you. We are not paralyzed. This shit has happened every year for millennia. We're used to it

A fraction of Canada. We're fine where i am. And it's warmer out east. We had maybe 20cm of snow. -25 right now but it's clear and dry.

Matthew 24:20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again

Watching this video, I only wish I could help some of the less experienced drivers, how to handle a vehicle safely in bad weather conditions. I drove school busses in some of the worst mountain roads in Europe, and also worked as a driving instructor or many years. I really loved it when some of the more courageous students requested lessons in bad road conditions. This was the time I felt doing something really worthwhile.

It makes me so happy that the part of the country that normally gets away scoff free in winter is getting pounded.

People - if you live in an area that typically doesn't get a lot of snow, do yourself a favour and stay home. If your car is not equipped for Winter weather (tires, studs, chains, etc.) then you are putting yourself and others at risk. In Ontario and Quebec most of us have winter tires and experience driving in the snow. Our ploughs are also much more dependable, but we can drive in 10-15 cm of snow if we have to.

Why is this channel called wild weather US? Is BC a part of the US?

Canada is more than Vancouver. Some places barely have any snow

Vancouver residents are not used to this much snow so it’s understandable that they feel helpless. I lived in Montreal and it was expected to have even more snow and cold several times during winter.

Yeah, we are not only snow birds, we’re also snowman too.😂 Never get paralyzed 😅

Looks like a Beautiful Winter Day

Let’s remember, 10 centimetres is only 3 inches!

Just another ski day

because they don't clear the snow often, the tow truck doesn't travel with traffic only goes sometimes but in the opposite direction

Vancouver drivers aren't much better than this even in ideal conditions.

Colorado ski resorts were hit with 100 cm of snow this week. The US was paralyzed.

A winters normal day where I live

OMG.NHS Trust ✝️ 🇬🇧 After Every STORM comes a RAINBOW 🌈 🌎 🗽 2024 🙏

Wow! That is unusual for southern BC. That's a lot more snow than we've had in PEI this year (so far).

In the 1960 s this was normal winter snowfall

Welcome to no fault insurance 😊

thats the real winter, not here 6 plus in winter 😏

No electricity, cold water, bare feet: those where nuns !

Vancouver is always paralized when snow falls. It will melt in couple of days

Wow. I swear I will never, ever, bitch about the weather in Tasmania again.

Wow that's a lot of footage you gathered from everyone

strange looks like no one has winter tires there or plows

normal winter day in canada

Same here in Montreal 🌨️🌨️🌨️

Just Vancouver is NOT Canada. Here in Toronto, we have mild winter, and I'm loving it. It's high time, Vancouver struggled a little bit, having good weather all year long since many years.

Vancouver Island hardly got anything -- just a few inches -- and it's so mild, I took off my jacket and gloves and shoveled in my short sleeve shirt.

Most of Canada gets this much snow, but this is heavy, sticky, gross snow.

Nonsense. This only happens in the Vancouver area because people don’t have their snow tires on. The rest of us are not paralyzed in any way. We are used to it.

Canada is paralyzed 😂😂😂 man you America's love drama it's just in Vancouver Canada is more than prepared to handle winter

Please….we’re use to it, it’s a stroll in the park!…..but gotta say, here in sunny Toronto….almost zero snow, just cold, and go back above 0 (32 Fahrenheit) in a few days…piece of cake! Feel sorry for the rest of North America, especially the lower states, 1” of snow and they shut down the state!

Coastal BC doesn't get a lot of snow at the lower altitudes and so it can really get bad on those rare occasions. Vancouver is not like Montreal or Toronto in the winter months. It is a lot milder and rains most of the time.

I see people moving trucks driving i donot see people paralized just cooooolllllllddddd

That idiot in the Toyota truck in the beginning, all they had to do is let off the brakes and steer to the right and give it a little throttle. Holding the brakes does nothing

Just looks like another fun day of driving around. There are still people in Alberta that have trouble, roads are better now, tires excellent, AWD autos work well with a real driver, Yet snow comes.

It is a lot of heavy wet snow. The worse kind. And if it melts/adds rain and then freezes it will be an ice nightmare. Stay safe Pray. Your help cometh from the hills :)

Its nice where I am, near Lake Superior.

One of the reasons I was never attracted by immigrating to Canada : EXTREME COLD 8 months per year !

I ride my bike to work on at least 10 days like this every winter in Ontario. It's all preparation to be honest. You expect bad weather and you plan accordingly. I do wish public works was as efficient and effective as some European countries, but admittedly Canada is quite big and spread out.

This storm was nothing compared to the 8 feet of snow in 36 hours in 1996 in both Vancouver and Victoria

Here in Ontario we call that normal snowfall. Nothing to cry about. But you have an ndp government and that explains it all.

Translink can't even get up a small incline with barely half inch of snow like last Thursday. What makes anyone think after 6 inches of snow today?

GEEZ Am I dreaming.... aren't we in Canada? This is nothing, the media overexagerate everything these days

And the Island - especially Victoria 🤣! Snow ❄️ Day all around!

What paralysed? Just moved 2 feet of fresh dumped snow so i can get to the grocery store... Taking a neighbour with me while her sons dig her out. All the neighbours are out - it's almost a party - welcome to winter! Woohoo!

This post is a lie. There was NO massive snow storm in Vancouver. We got 5 to 6 inches, thats all. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Our whole country is apparently paralyzed by ONE province getting heavy snow?? Y’all don’t know shit about Canada obviously

I`m with the person that opened the door looked at it then closed and locked the door. I`d just stay in when its like this.

C is for Celsius FYI. Cheers

This kind of snow storm, we call it kid stuff in the maritime!

Vancouver is not Canada. It’s not even British Columbia. It’s just a port city on the west coast of Canada. And it’s got the killer combination of snow that packs to ice, poor drivers with no patience or common sense, and the largest percentage of cars with summer tires in winter.

How is that bird still alive

Did the snow put out the fires?

You SILLY! It is Canada! Winter happens. We are NOT surprised! Me? -37C... I plugged in my car heater.

Although it can snow at anytime, it is more likely between November through April.

Don't you just hate it when some video just over estimates weather, snow is going to fall on the BC coast often. I grew up there and we had snow often. The problem is too many new citizens have no experience driving in snow, especially wet coastal snow. That is the problem. We got 20 cm today in the Kootenays of BC minus 8 c all day dry snow and drivers who know how to drive in snow. Thiis Vancouver snow nevers lasts more than a few days at most.

Here are the reasons Vancouver can't handle snow. 1) It has no arterial roads. Vancouver has what engineers call 'Stroads'. These are streets pretending to be roads. Roads are designed to convey traffic through a region. No residences on them. No light controlled intersections. Just high volumes of traffic moving through at speed. Vancouver has none. Tens of thousands of vehicles leave the freeway and are dumped onto residential streets. 1st. Avenue, for instance, connecting downtown to the freeway - is a residential street. And it's gridlocked for about 20 hours a day. 2) While most of Europe embraced traffic circles, Vancouver has tens of thousands of traffic lights which constantly grind traffic to a halt in order to allow traffic to move through an intersection in the opposite direction. In effect, a network of single lane bridges. Since traffic has to come to a full stop at red lights, snow covered roads at intersections are quickly ground into pure ice, and cars often go sliding right through intersections. In addition, the timing of lights fails to take into consideration the longer stopping distance in snow. So the lights operate on the 'same old' timing cycle they use on a warm summer's day. 3) Road alowances in Vancouver are disasterously too narrow. Many streets do not have sufficient room to allow two cars to pass each other, and one has to pull over in order to let the other one by. And because most houses lack garages, vehicles are parked on these already far too narrow roads, leaving absolutely nowhere to plow snow. 4) Because road allowances in the orginal city plan were far too narrow, it is virtually impossible to retrofit traffic circles - because there simply isn't the room to build them. 5) Virtually none of Vancouver's thousands of traffic lights are synchronized. They're random, so traffic cannot flow along a street in sync with the traffic lights. This was done deliberatly by engineers under an initiative called 'traffic calming'. According to BC's road engineering Einsteins, stopping traffic every block 'calms traffic'. I argued that it did exactly the opposite - enraging drivers who are forced to stop about 80 times in a round trip across the Vancouver area. Many of these problems were addressed by mayors, councilors, and the provincial government in the 1960's but a very vocal minority of Vancouverites had an absolute hissy fit, demanding that Vancouver not be developed "... like an American city!". Mayor Tom Campbell was voted out of office. The roads improvement projects were all cancelled. And so now here we are! Paradoxically, while supposedly responding to the will of the people in the cancellation of modern road projects, Vancouver listened only to the intensely vocal minority, and it failed to hold a REFERENDUM on the roads issue which would have allowed EVERY Vancouverite an equal say in the matter.

It must be that damn "Global warming" 😂😂

BC is like the U.S. You get 2cm of snow and everything closes. People don’t even know how to drive on snow.

Laugh or not laugh. Vancouver is the hottest province of Canada. As if Canada has only one province. Here in Quebec, we had -22 °C last night. And the storm that fell last tuesday was just a little beer. You're a joke, no?

That’s nothing 😂 Vancouver is a joke
