People here do not know hwo to drive in the snow.
The basics:
Don't go past 60 you psycho fracks that think you can drive in the snow, you're going to kill someone.
What you can't see is the worse; black ice kills, not snow. Snow grips, ice sends you into oncoming traffic.
Don't slam breaks if the road is icy, you WILL slide, you WILL lose control and you will die. Braking is not safe in icy conditions. People here can't brake normally, barely anyone knows how to gradually stop. The way people brake here and ice means it's better not to brake at all, which means going 20 the whole way if you have to. Switch to '3' on your car and let go of the gas, you'll slow down and then you can hit the brakes when you're going under 10.
Be aware of other cars, don't concentrate on only what's infront of you. There's people coming the other way that might spin out. A lot of people here drive only caring about themseles. Don't brake too fast. You might stop but the guy behind you might not.
Edit: About UBC, UBC never closes. Never. We had one day where the power was out when the first big snowstorm hit and it was open the next day, even though conditions got worse.
