AbsolutSurgen Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Weather watch: What you need to know about the winter blast in Ontario | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Heavy snow is causing headaches for commuters across a huge swath of southern Ontario, with major highways temporarily closed in Toronto and Ottawa and police warning people to avoid unnecessary travel. 'Just trying to remain calm': Some stuck on Highway 401 in Toronto for more than 8 hours as storm wallops city | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Airport taxi driver Sukhi Sidhu says he hasn't moved an inch since getting stuck on Highway 401 at 7:15 a.m. ET. And he's not alone. All of the major highways were closed at points today (DVP, Gardiner Expressway and 401). Yes, North America's busiest highway was closed for much of the day. For snow. In fucking Canada. @CitizenVectron Can we live this down? Our Premier (Canadian version of Governor) was seen doing this: FWIW, I dug several people's cars out of snow today. Pro-Tip -- If you have a compact car with less than 8-inches of clearance, don't try and drive on an unplowed road with 14-inches of snow. I literally dug one guy out this morning, pushed his car back on the plowed road, and he got stuck doing a 3-point turn back into the unplowed road. Would I have been an asshole if I didn't dig him out a second time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I got stuck at the top of my street this morning (7 am) going in to work. I tried to get through to no avail until I just backed up and floored it. I was 24 minutes late, but of course I phoned in to tell them I would be. I should have just called in like a lot of other people apparently did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yeah, we don’t have anything in Houston to deal with snow, so we always close schools and the like if snow/ice is forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I hope Toronto calls in the army again like in the 90s so the rest of the country can get another 30 years out of that joke. jk of course, that much snow really sucks, especially in southern Ontario where humidity is higher!

Anathema- Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It's not just the preparedness and infrastructure but the geography. The places where the most wealthy Virginians live is absolutely treacherous with only the most minimal of snow and ice. Then if the bosses call out it all flows downhill from there. Drive down almost literally any Virginia Scenic Byway would make this obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I got called into work early because of the storm today. We had 3 cars stuck on my street (can see one in below pic) and probably +45cm on my driveway. So mom, my sister and I went out and shovelled my car out and even cleared a bit of the street to give me a chance. Let me just a moment here to thank the AWD Deep Snow Traction option on my Ford Escape, cause I got through it with ease. Slow day at work and some of the local stores stayed closed and the Tim Hortons was Drive-Thru Only. Thankfully my side street was cleared before I came home and barely any snowbank left by the plow too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I’m happy to be living in a condo where I didn’t have to shovel anything today. With that said man the storm was relentless all day. Even being up on the 5th floor my balcony has a lot of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Y’all want to see some shit wait until the end of the week here in the mid Atlantic. Some weather models are predicting a foot or so of snow, covering nearly the entire commonwealth of Virginia and some showing 18 inches from western va to NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
