Driving South is Easier

At 364,764 square miles, the province in which I live is big. British Columbia is about the size of France, Germany, and the Netherlands combined. Or to put it another way, it's larger than the total area of California, Oregon, and Washington State.

It seems a little sad that we so often seem stuck down here near the south west corner of BC. In fact, I am so ready for a local road trip, I could scream! There's a little problem: I don't have a set of snow tires as they're not necessary during Metro-Vancouver's winters. In order to leave here, though, we've got to go on roads which require them. The weather in Decmeber will not be like the Street View scene embedded below.



The weather conditions on the Coquihalla Highway can be slick in December.
