Q: I'm going to try and get tickets for the winter olympics in February 2010, and I'm thinking if I do get tickets, that I'll drive there. What do any of you think the weather, traffic, and road conditions will be like during the trip?
A: Main hazard would be rain and reduced visibility. Black ice during evening and morning. If it does snow then there will be a lot, though it melts quickly. North of Vancouver there will be snow. The closer you get to Whistler, the main olympic venue, the greater the probability of snow on the road. Carry tire chains, a shovel, and warm clothing.
