    Everything is closed in Vancouver today. It is not used to getting snow and when it does get a big dump, they cannot clear and device the streets fast enough.

    Wish we had that problem here because that means for the vast majority of the year they have no need what so ever for snow removal capacity. Unfortunately most of the rest of us have that capacity because we need it for a fair chunk of the year.

    True story Bob. The flip side is I drove home from work yesterday and the 70 miles of highway looked like it had been cleaned with a zambony.

    Around here all that means is the wind has been burnishing the ice on the roads. Ontario privatised snow removal on highways many years ago and I am tired of hearing about fatal accidents on the Trans Canada nearly every time it snows. That last one few days ago killed 3 and closed the highway for 17 hours with no way to detour around it. It would sure help if they 4 laned the Trans Canada from the Sault to the Manitoba border but that is about 600 miles of 2 lane. OK, rant off.

    A few years ago I had to make 3 or 4 annual return trips between Ottawa and Calgary or Edmonton. Did it in December ONCE! So much of the Trans Canada is exposed on the north shore of big lakes. It was a scary drive with crazy truck driving road warriors bearing down impatiently from behind.

    Sounds just like the south shores of lake Erie. When a Nor easter blows in, a lot of the roads, houses, cars are covered in thick ice very quickly.

    Ice is not letting go, even on a mild night.
