He probably thought it was all some big Canadian conspiracy. ;)<br /><br />Stheriously, though, it makes me feel a bit better about the chaos in Britain, if even Canada has trouble with snowstorms. And I'm glad I'm not the only person who (whisper it) actually finds it really stressful driving on snow and ice. Especially as I have to do it twice a day, going to school with my children in the car.

However, even though England grinds to a halt very easily in the snow, I guess what you have is very much worse by far. Sounds horrendous.

Sigh! I am not a fan of this snow. It can pass us by and I would be thrilled. Traveling in it is scary and I have had some terrible times driving!!!!! One night I had slid off a snow and ice covered road into a ditch and no one was around. No lights or cars anywhere!! I was so scared! Then someone appeared from next to my car and I was so thrilled. She flagged down the next person that came up the road and they got my car out. He even took me home. I left the car parked where he towed it. I wasn't driving in that snow anymore that night. No way!!

Obviously dealing with climatic extremes requires a particular mindset, and if we are lucky we just drift along. All those supplies you need!

We see that here too when they get stuck in traffic because of bad road conditions, even though they were warned ahead of time. If it all turns out well, they grumble because of the warning that went out. Your road conditions do sound extreme and tough to deal with. We have nothing like it. Not yet, anyway.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-65389145505192766432010-12-15T17:49:47.217-05:002010-12-15T17:49:47.217-05:00It's true.
