The snow doesn't bother me so much. It's the fools who can't drive in it and get in a wreck on the Whitemud in the morning and make me 1/2 hour late for work.
:stickpoke
Yup, that peeves me. |

| Didn't we have this conversation in another thread somewhere? I have yet to see a year in Edmonton where it didn't snow (signficantly) in April or May. And we're not even there yet! So, we're still going to get more next month. So, don't bother with the Z-rated tires just yet.... |

On the down side, we're driving in low traction weather again.
On the up side, we're driving in low traction weather again. As long as it doesn't stick around too long I'm ok with it. Just means I can slide my car around again without frying my winter tires.

| SilverNeonRacer |
| heh.. at the bottom of really steep hill I slid through a stop sign, I was going slow enough ABS didn't kick in, but I yanked the e-brake to make sure i ended up inthe parking lane... there where no cars though.. lucky me. had I not e-braked i prolly woulda just nosed into the right hand driving lane... but ya know if a logging truck was passing that woulda sucked. |

Today, people driving like 10kms/h @#$%! stay home!. They can't see the lines so they drive all the @#$%ing over the place!! STAY HOME!.
GRAH!!, MORONS ALL OF THEM!.
You you you stupid weather!, stop teasing us already!... |

Man, this weather is rediculous. Bloody graters haven't been out yet either. No salt/gravel, nothin. Just slippery ass snow and people driving like gerriatrics.

Actually, I was surprised and thought the roads were not too bad this morning. I was on the whitemud just after 7 am this morning and traffic was moving at about 75 km/h which seemed about right for the conditions.
I am glad I didn't have to drive my Cavalier this morning though because the snow is quite deep in my cresent. Got to love the ground clearence and traction in the Explorer though. :D |

This snow is pissing me off. First night it snows (last Tuesday) my friend loses control of her car, car stops and another car hits her. She died instantly and then her boyfriend a good friend is in hospital still on life support (was on the news and in papers lots). Then I had to take the rims back off my car on wed morning. Then it's just been cold. Then today walking across a cross walk at nait some stupid fuck in a sunfire is just flying up the road. You can still hear his car accelerating because of the lawnmower sounding exhaust and a van stops to let the people walk across the cross walk. This dumb fuck loses control of his car and can't stop it starts going side ways right towards so I turn and boot it back to the side I started on. I wish you had of smoked the curb and I shouldn't have moved should have let you hit me then I could of sued his ass. So if he is on here FUCK YOU learn to drive. And now this day is just stupid cause we are still going to get more snow. eff. :mad:
sorry for the rant. Haven't had a great past week. and the snow is to contribute for everything. |

| man, i was on my way home was driving like 40, then all of sudden my lane like vanished, there was like alittle over a foot of snow infront of me so i had to drive through it, it dropped my speed down to 15. then i saw people pointing and laughing, so i gave them the finger. |

Everyone complaining about people driving too slow. Would you rather they drive the usual speed and have a billion wrecks in the city? Or just drive faster.... into your car. I can handle an extra hour to get to work. It's better than the alternative.
9 times out of 10, Edmonton drivers go to fast for the conditions, and end up causing pile ups and gridlock for hours. This is a nice change. Keep it up Edmonton. Slow down for bad weather, and keep my body panels straight for another day.
Today is a day for Kepoch. :beer: |

| So yeah shoveling the driveway should be fun damnit theres a drift on my driveway almost 3 feet deep ugh. :banghead: |

| heh we got about 7" all over the place here.... quite fun.. out plows don't plow.. they hold the blade about 2.5" above the pavement and sprinkle a sand/salt mixture and turn everything to slush... which is worse than the snow. |

| yeah then when it freezes its ice i hate that |

Do you know what the streets would look like in the summer if they put the blade on the asphault? |

They scrape the highways down to the pavement no probs... I've seen them scrape the roads before... the bottom of the blades on the snow plows are designed to wear down rather than rip up the road. |
