What about us Canadians? or are we "properly equipped" to deal with this upcomming weather

Just kidding, I know you're weather channels in the states don't show storms going over Ontario.... kinda weird.

That's true and odd. The radar images stop at the borders. Like we're not supposed to be scanning the skies over Canada or some such nonsense.

The thing that makes storms like this so bad out here is that the state is a) broke, and b) woefully unprepared to deal with them in any economy. In Massachusetts you would see snow plows lined up on the overpasses before a big storm and the plows and sand trucks would be out in force throughout the entire storm. Yesterday during my 55 mile commute in the ice storm I saw one salt truck, and he was heading the opposite way. This state won't hire privateer plow trucks, so they depend on the few trucks each region has to cover ridiculous amounts of roadway. Plus there is no ready supply of sand here, so they depend on salt, which is pricey and not at all good for the local farmlands.

lol.....

the funny part about this storm..... I guarantee as it get's closer to boston, the weather channels there will say it's a Canadian storm. And we'll get the blame.

I was talking to my dad about this yesterday (he lives in colorado half the year) and he basically agreed that it will be turned into a canadian storm.

just to point out, he had the storm chasing him back to canada the other day.

Complain all you like, but when your street in front of your house looks like this, I'll begin listening lol

and that was 12 degrees F, which was a nice day.... it was -4F that morning...

I miss summer

I think I'd rather have some substantial snow on the ground. At least you can drive on that. This ice sux.

our hard packed snow can actually be slipperier sometimes... but yes, i agree, the ice is a really sh*tty situation... we've had a few rain falls where we've had an inch of ice....

thankfully we'll be skipping that with this storm.... so they tell us.

The ice is the really bad one, it takes all the power lines out with all the extra weight and stuff.

I like walking on it
