A Day In The Life Of Snow

The weather has been viciously annoying in December. From heavy winds, sub-zero temperatures (only to rise to above zero with rain and back down with thick snow fall), and snow - lotsa, lotsa snow.

What blows my mind is we still don't have winter road management and snow removal down to a science. Given our experience with snow - it's not like it won't come - it sure comes off we're incompetent in dealing with severe weather. If there's one thing we should know how to expertly handle, in addition to friggin hockey, it's snow. There shouldn't be any delays or problems that comes as a result of snow. We should always be in a heightened state of snow alertness. It always feels in the first few days we act like Floridians seeing snow for the first time (yeah, yeah I know. Florida does get hit with the odd snow fall or frost. I do have an uncle who first lived in Melbourne and now lives in Cocoa Beach. We visited Florida on and off for 25 years so we know the place and have in fact witnessed Florida frost and even hurricanes. You get my friggin point). It's only once we get into gear things run smoothly.

We should be able to become and think like a snow flake.

Should 300 cars stranded in a storm really be happening in Canada? Or at least on the Canadian shield between Quebec and Ontario used to heavy snow storms.
