The Weather Outside is Frightful

This is Montreal.

I love a good “cars, busses and snow plows out of control video.”

  1. Used to live 17 miles in the country on a gravel road in a sparsely populated area, the plow trucks usually plowed in early may, well after winter.
    If my four wheel drive vehicle didn’t make if up my drive, I stayed home.

  3. The first snowfall of the year can be tough. No matter how slow you think you are going, you still can’t stop. And it doesn’t matter where you are, Minnesota, New York, Montreal, Alaska, the first snow turns to ice on the road.

  9. Cringe-worthy driving by the cop: all four wheels locked solid mean zero chance of any control at all. Ya gotta let ’em roll. You’d think Canadians would do this stuff better.

    Ahhh! Florida! It was about 80°F this afternoon in Sarasota, Manatee, and Pinellas counties.

  16. I learned to drive during the fabled Winter of 1968/69 when we had 5-6 ft. of snow on the ground for most of the Winter, the last of the snow didn’t finally melt till around Mother’s Day 0f 69. and it stayed well below zero for nearly a month from Christmas of 68 till the middle of Jan. of 69. It was a great time for teenage boys back when ski jogging (yeah I know ski jogging is illegal as hell but when you’re young and stupid it’s a lot of fun) was fun with all that snow. The only comparable snowfall was a week before Christmas 2007 9 years ago (the infamous Snowpocalypse) where we got about 3 and a half to 4 ft. of snow in about 36 hrs., that was no fun but it didn’t stick around as long as it did 68 and 69.

  17. Reply to Geoff the aardvark… I got my driver’s licence in December 1968, Edmonton, AB, Canada. One of the requirements was to be able to parallel park going uphill on the MacDonald Hill (very high, very steep) on an icy road. It took my two tries (I think the examiner just automatically failed you on the first try if you were 16). I was able to pass the test – I always have snow tires and drive about 20 KM below the speed limit in winter.
