Actual Winter In Vancouver Is Making People Do Crazy Things

Trying to survive the Great Salt Crisis of 2017.
Andree Lau

Snow, followed by slush and falling temperatures have turned streets into dangerous slick surfaces.

(Tip from the pros though: don't do that because you can damage tools, the surface, or yourself.)

So far this winter, the City of Vancouver has gone through about 7,000 tonnes of salt, which is seven times the average amount used in each of the previous two winters.

More snow is forecast for the next few days.
