Keep 'er clean! Me when we had warm temperatures

Although, it'd be lame cramming Swangard or Nat Bailey for a Canucks game.

Friend of mine was supposed to fly into Van from Edmonton and take off for Thailand. Apparently her flight was canceled due to 'threat of an 5 cm of snow' yesterday morning - this being after the storm the previous night.

Anyway, how about that weather?

Apparently Chilliwack is like Saskatchewan right now.

Sweet, another blizzard warning for the Valley. I hope it's not as severe as the one that was supposed to hit us on Wednesday. 90km/hr Easterlies/up to 20cm snow/windchill of -20ish. SWEET

Yea, it's +14C there...

First off, I wasn't actually telling you to try it, so quit the douchebaggery. And no matter how fast you're going, when you hit black ice, you're going to lose it and the car will go where it wants until it can grip again. I've bit it at 40 on the freeway before. I've been in a vehicle that nearly slid into a pole leaving a parking lot. I've been in another that hit a snowbank doing 30 on the Coq, the latter being someone who's well versed with driving in the snow. And I know how to drive in the snow too, it's the ice that's always a problem.

Try this one on for size, when your car starts sliding that the wheel cranks for you. That's when you've lost all control and can't do anything except hope for the best.

Which is why I'm glad I went through driver's training through YDC. Doesn't make me a perfect winter driver obviously, but I know how to not drive like an idiot in the snow.

Chilliwack's under a Blizzard warning now... UGH.

Don't, that just adds to the comic relief.

Don't be so sure. Prairie folk, especially Albertans, are horrible drivers once they get here. They're good drivers in Alberta sure, but even in the driest of weather, once they get here, they're scary. I compare them to old men in minivans.

For me, it's because I was nearly killed trying to drive in it last year. And for the record, I do know how to drive in the snow, it was a patch of black ice in the middle of the night that got me.

Considering he was suspended already for his conversations, you'd think he would learn a bit eh?

Ugggggggh.....

Completely disagree with that law angle. I don't feel I should have to display my respect. I'm of the attitude where I can display my appreciation my own way, in my own thoughts. I don't agree with the 'honour our veterans in a matter we tell you because we say so' attitude that such a law would enforce. For example, I was on the Chilliwack Bruins forum the other day. I said I didn't like how the shoulder patch for the Nov. 11th game looked on a white jersey. I got told basically that I should love it because it signifies Rememberance Day. Sorry, where's the logic in that? Isn't that kind of going AGAINST the freedom that these soldiers put their lives on the line for? If I don't think something looks aesthetically pleasing, no matter what it signifies, I shouldn't have to pretend to think it's beautiful. Some people take this day too seriously and think that if someone's not done to the tits in terms of showing respect and support, that they're not worthy of being Canadian. For the record, I'm not trashing Rememberance Day, nor am I not trashing the soldiers and the cause they risked their lives for. I just don't agree with the expectations that is put on me to follow these procedures, show off that I respect them, etc. I just feel that, in Canada, a free nation, I should be able to thank the soldiers myself, in whatever manner I feel without having to put up with other peoples' b/s that I should follow such protocol like wearing a poppy or having to like a certain shoulder patch. I will be paying my respects to those who have served, who are served, who will be serving for our country - and that's MY choice. I just don't think it should be enforced on a person [/rant]
