Happy to see all the snow coming down in town. The only thing that I don't like about all the new white stuff is some of the drivers on our roads. Either there's some mini van driving 20k in a 60 with no one in sight, or a 4x4 flying by me at 90 on that same road. Yes you have more traction as you have 4 wheels (well mabie 4, mostly one front and one back), but it takes longer to stop.:confused:

i dont care how bad its snowing im going the speed limit. no reason to go any less.

people driving on the yellowhead at 60km/h with no one in front of them is just dangerous

Namao was just inside the snow area last night. The snow conditions have improved greatly since last week. I'm going to be out tonight along highway 28. With the snow last night, today and the drifting in the ditches, it could be fun. :) The snow will be collecting on the Sturgeon River too. It'll be fun on there too before it gets tracked up. :beer:
