25min of driving on Coquihalla Hwy from rain to heavy snow

[@jasontempest4233]

Awesome road and great commentary. Thank you. This kind of driving is completely foreign to me as I live in tropical northern Australia (Cairns QL) so I find it quite interesting. We have high mountains nearby that get fog and some ice on Winter mornings but nothing like this. About a decade ago however I did nearly get stuck in an unexpected snowstorm in Southern Australia near Canberra that caught me by surprise. I was on a highway near the Snowy Mountains and an early Spring storm surprised many with snow and high winds. Within a very short time the snow drifts were forming on the highway and high winds turned the landscape white and were buffeting my car from the side. I had no snow chains and was forced to drive very slowly to the next closest town located at a slightly lower elevation. It was very exciting but at the same time I was really on edge and concentrating on staying on the road within the yellow markers.

you can really tell by the 13:00 minute mark that the weather conditions have changed very quickly. Loved this video, especially the talking - I dont like it when driving videos have no talking because they feel lonely. great job!

4:42 first sign of snow

[@hopper131]

Thanks for taking the time to record and upload this. Heading to Vancouver today and this was seriously informative.

[@CuriousSoulCanada]

That was a snapshot. Conditions change by the hour. I went snowshoeing on a nearby lake and within 10min there was so much snow, it covered most of my tracks, that was about 5cm of new snow, as I was inside the low snow cloud

[@stevenbm8950]

Had you ever imagine that this video watched by Indonesian who lives in tropical area and never see a snow??? Well, I learned A LOT from you about snow driving because the worst driving experience in my lives was driving in tropical hail and storm at 80kph in fear of rear crashing due to other reckless high speed driver on the highway with a lot of hydroplaning and 5m visibility while never see a snow in my life. Anyway, we use UK styled left lane right seat driver instead of yours EU styled lane so this video gives me more insight of how things done in the other side of the world

[@stevenbm8950]

anyway regarding 18:55 about wheel up jeeps that over speeding their limitation, as recently as a week ago, we had fatal accident involving a jeep like SUV made in March of 2021, that carried actress and her family had a fatal accident from over speed on record high 192kph by her driver and she, the actress, and her husband passed away as the car flipped over down the trans-Java highway, over speed by almost twice the recommended 100kph speed! I see your explanation well and I believe you are quite professional driver too

[@stevetobias9097]

WOW, you’re like Jesus: changing water into snow! 🙏🙏🙏

[@TheCjcoon]

Doing a drive to Alberta, from BC in January.

[@georger6862]

What month did yiu make that drive? I will be taking the same route in October and hoping I won't encounter that much snow.

[@esparda07]

You should be fine in October.

[@johnlogullo2237]

Does the temperature decrease 0.6c for every 100 meters elevation?

[@CuriousSoulCanada]

Quick answer: 1.9 Celsius per 1000ft. Google search will also reveal this

[@robbydavis3388]

Curious soul it’s definitely more than that just from personal experience driving on this hwy every year in the winter
