Do you know how many more vehicles there are in Greater Toronto Area for example. We have the mildest climate in all of Canada by far. Different snow, no roads plowed, the crews are interviewed with TV cameras all around them, then nothing is done. Or, it doesn't snow at all. This is Vancouver in nutshell. But when it does snow, more than half the people driving have never driven in it, or don't have snow tires. -11C in a damp climate is not mild. I saw -54F in the interior of BC back in the winter of 1968, and happened to come down to Vancouver for a weekend, it was around 0F, I couldn't wait to get back to the interior.

People lose their minds here for some reason when it snows. When I first moved here from SK I found it funny, now it just scares me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School districts actually send out staff at 6 AM to assess the roads and determine if it is safe for School buses to operate. It is not worth putting children's lives at risk just open run a day of school. Edited February 11, 2019 by kingofsurrey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize private schools have no catchment areas for their students so get students / parents driving much greater distances to get to school than most public schools... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning this young kid, pushed the walk button and stepped right off the curb as if nothing was going on. Luckily I was stopped and predicted that he would do that. No kidding, eh?

Violator Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Last nite was nuts two lane roads and people were driving like it was one lane. Main roads seem pretty decent today worst part is always the side roads then people pushing snow from side roads to mains make things worse.
