Crazy weather

[whiskas]

It's cold as balls and the snow just starting dumping like crazy. It's gonna be a fun commute tonight. This is a photo of the TD building from 2 blocks away. Normally both bankers hall buildings are right behind it, but you can't even see them.



Compared to a few hours later:

holy fuck thats downtown?

[ddduke]

Yeah, just had to drive Deerfoot south from Glenmore, I couldn't see 100ft ahead of me.

[Cos]

up in airdire wind is freaking HOWLING. Doesnt look bad in the picture but the snow is sideways and can really hurt your face. You can kind of tell by how the Canada flag is almost torn off.

Feels like it is -197 outside too.

YAY spring!

at sait it's colder than a witches tit and snow blowing hard.

Ya...view out of a north facing window at Scotia Centre was like that for a bit here too (from about 1:30-1:50pm). I could barely see the Bow Valley Square buildings for several minutes. Looks like things have calmed down now, although the snow continues to fall.

Drove up to Airdrie and back on business - roads outside of the city were fine, bit of blowing snow but no big deal. In the city though once you dropped into the valley on Deerfoot south of Airport Trail - then things got a bit iffier, lots more snow flying around and the common sense capabilities of a lot of drivers seems to have been left at home. Had one guy cut across 3 lanes after he merged on from Airport Trail and then settle into a leisurely 80kph in the left lane. Had another guy try to squeeze into half a lane between me and a snowplow - suspect he probably had to clean his shorts when he got home.

Oh and a serious head up to anyone who commutes home southbound on 11th Street NE to the east side of Deerfoot mall - the left hand corner onto 49th Avenue NE is deadly icy. Watched scores of vehicles come into that left hander too fast and bounce over the cement curb - AWD, FWD, RWD, 4WD, didn't matter what they were driving, they were all bouncing off of that right side curb on 49th Avenue.

Colder than a whore's heart on payday.

Drive safe! Took me 50 mins to get home and I left at 3:15. It's obvious who has winter tires out there tonight. Generally a slow go with idiot drivers gunning it and spinning out as a result.

[JfuckinC]

nice, im having dinner at my sisters which is only a few blocks from my office, miss out on all the nut balls who can't drive

[max_boost]

Have fun driving in this weather. I'm glad I have winter tires. lol

[RickDaTuner]

wow I will avoid the cold like its the plague, so much so that I will do my grocery shopping at market mall tonight, that way I can go from underground to underground parking...

[Freestylin]

Over here on Macleod Trail near Chinook Centre is pretty bad. Visibility is really poor, so I do caution everyone to drive safe!

Roads are terrible, I was spinning tires and sliding to stops and i'm even on a brand new set of winters. I left work at 4, and my commute (usually 20 minutes) took about 1 hour.

[M.alex]

I'm almost glad I have the flu - nowhere to go today, hah!

If you don't have to turn, stop, or accelerate.........the roads are not too bad.
