Odd, went through there this morning at about 7:30am at 80kph in the lane to the left of that right lane and didn't find the ice to be a challenge and I'm not running winters. Now if one was not paying attention and hauled off on the brakes or jerked their steering wheel for some silly reason, then I can see how one's sphincter might tighten up a bit - drive with respect to the conditions and it's not a big deal.

Well people should be driving for conditions regardless... I was just mentioning that the left lane on that exit looked iced over.

Hey guys, just got back from Marda loop to Panorama hills from Stoney Trail and it is a mess out there. Visibility is very poor and the roads are slippery (more slush). Take care tonight. Will be fun driving in the morning rush hour..

Cheers,

Heavy flakes in Evanston right now, sticking too...

Some cunt monkey thought it would be fun to pull an illegal left hand turn in front of me on the way home, I've never been closer to having an accident.

As soon as the snow flys everyone turns retarded.

People somehow don't realize that it takes them longer to get going, and it takes everyone else more time to slow down. Absolute idiots.

So are we warning everyone anytime there's a snowflake now? 'Cause I just thought it was supposed to be snow storm heads up.

While we're discussing this snowfall event, I thought I'd re-link to the City of Calgary road conditions map, and point out that currently it show 33 plows and sanders working.
COC Road Conditions LINK

Based on the snowfall maps I saw today, it looks like we're right on the edge of the really heavy accumulations predicted for west and north. They don't have to be far off to mean 20+cm for Calgary.

I went out tonight and went from country hills to Dalhousie via Stoney and had no issues at all, except the person that was running with no lights...

Three things that no longer surprise me in Calgary.

1) High beam drivers
2) No light drivers
3) Dark clothing people crossing roads at random places enjoying a moment of near death.

What do you want us to all wear? Silver Tommy Hilfiger jackets from 1996?

City roads aren't too bad on major streets. Traffic was still moving at decent pace to DT.

3 series hit a pole on memorial drive heading east from downtown. made my trip into work a good 15-20 minute longer.

It barely snowed. Things are a bit sloppy but far from dangerous. If it freezes, then we can talk about dangerous...

The only effect to my commute is my car got dirtier than average...
