Strathmore ish??? I'm in Shepard, small acreage community just on the inside of the city. But far enough out, not to have any services

Just curious about your location, as Shepard is the East side of Calgary

Trucks and cars all over in the ditches between Calgary and Bowden. There was an 18 wheeler in the south bound ditch, facing North??
Wind gusts were nasty in my small company car !!

So its glare ice and those guys still run highway speeds. Serves them right.

Nobody deserves that. It looks like a deck of some sort, and there is definitely a lack of experience in those conditions for alot of those drivers, its not the norm.
Taking that ability to communicate away is the biggest problem, no advanced warning.
