[misfish]

Hey Fisherman,see ya soon on the docks.

[Fisherman]

I'm going to try for sunday, weather looks to be clearing and +3.

[Greencoachdog]

... btw... it was +25*C here today

[Mike the Pike]

No problem half the people in Toronto won't show up for work and another quarter who never use snow tires will end up in an accident or in the ditch.So traffic should be minimal accidents will be plentiful.Too bad the Morons with 4 season tires will drive 120KPH anyway.We Quebecers will all show up for work like just any other day.Don't worry the Army is always on standby in Toronto to compensate for lack of snow plows.

[irishfield]

LOL MIke ! Snowing here now...not good as I have a 30 foot trench dug in the yard and we're installing pipe at 8am so I can meet this $(%@$)% comprehensive oil inspection Bull before my tanks go dry.

[Dano]

How long did it take Leah to dig the trench Wayne?

Yup, you Quebecers sure are wonderful.......

A couple hours ! LOL Seriously! I dug the first 12 feet or so in the sand backfill from the house and did the stone wall, drilled the holes etc. I then let the "crew" take over in the undisturbed stuff. My back is toast today and no way I would have got it done myself with a screwed L4 and L5. Worst thing is...I found the old original line was indeed put in a plastic pipe...I could have just had him hook it back up and he would have had to sign off my conformance.

Snow isn't a problem here. I can drive my ATV to work!

Actually fisherman we don't have alot of accidents during snowstorms because many here use snow tires .Not here to open a can of worms.

 

My company is Canada wide.All our sales reps are entitled to one set of snow tires and we all put them on in the province of Quebec.The reps In Toronto say they don't need em .The Atlantic Canada rep does not use em nor do they out west.All I hear is we don't get much snow so we don't need em.I do admit we get alot more snow but choosing snow tires will always be night and day.

The other reason most of make it to work is cause we have a city that has been well equipped with one helluva fleet of snowremoval equipment.

[keram]

WOW, this going to be BIG event, 10" +/- of this white staff, wrecking hovoc all over province. Snow In Canada, not to mention Ontario - unbeliveble . The excitement is so great that I feel like living in Ivory Coast. Snow!!!!!! In Canada!!!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!

[fishing n autograph]

wow....it should be a find night at work tomorrow....playing in the snow in a rear wheeled car with way too much horsepower and testosterone.....

[fishing n autograph]

d another quarter who never use snow tires will end up in an accident or in the ditch.

 

Dude...don't say that...too much work lol

[motv8tr]

[Spiel]

Real Nice Spiel...

 

I hope you got electric start...nothing worse than pulling a shoulder out of joint hauling on the starter cord !!!...

 

Oh ya, electric start Norm. A bum neck/shoulder is the reason for getting it.

 

Oh oh, just came in from letting the puppy out and theres snow and ice pellets falling in Hamilton.

Watch your driving today folks!

[dsn]

Its not over yet. Theres more to come.

[Fisherman]

Actually fisherman we don't have alot of accidents during snowstorms because many here use snow tires .

Actually you're right, that way you can drive right into the ditch. In Quebec, 4 studded snowtires is just like driving in the summer at 120.

[Entropy]

Took me 1.5 hrs to get to work that normally would take 50 min.

 

It was worse than I'd expect!

 

Real slick.

 

A taxi on Lakeridge almost lost it right in front of me (headed to me), swerved a bit, threw up some snow, I braced for the impact, but he straightened out. Thank Goodness.

4x4 and a decent set of tires make all the difference!
