2017 Extreme Weather Thread

Like others said the drive this morning wasn’t too bad. Road weren’t great but there was so much snow on the ground the winter tires were gripping fine. Later when it get icy will be way worse.

Cool story bro time…. Last night the roads were worse, was merging on to deerfoot and had some ass-clown tail me and flash his high beams (as my traction control was going crazy, was super icy) and then shoot 2 lanes around me as I was avoiding a tow truck on the shoulder. Was praying for some karma and that he’d spin out in the ditch so I could give him an f-you salute as I drove by. Bro needed to chill out in his Hyundai race car.

Good luck everyone on the commute home. haha

Took me longer to shovel the snow than to get into work. 30 minutes to get into downtown following the back roads.

My Infiniti handled the conditions with aplomb. Now if those people too scared to drive in these conditions could just not do 50 in the fast lane on Stoney, I would have actually made it to work on time. I mean, I know it's the one lane that is perfectly clear, but I'm sure if you were only going 50 you could handle the snow in the right lane, could you not?

I agree, move the hell over if you are going to go that slow. Happens all the time on Stoney in the Nw when it snows like this.

I have been enjoying poking fun at the BC people who have been losing their minds over a few inches of snow. One of my family members actually visibly piled it up to take a picture of her "foot deep" snow I can still see her palm trees in the background so sympathy is lost on me.

oh, it snowed in BC...

Dude in his RAV4 going 20 Km/hr through bridlewood @ 615 AM. I was so tempted to do a flyby on his ass

wife measured 8 inches so far in Strathmore and still coming down like a bastard. meanwhile up north we haven't gotten much compared to southern ab, but it is fucking way colder.

Very tempted to buy a snow blower.... last winter swayed my decision one way but this winter is swaying it another.

Only issue is storage ..... damn

Nissan/Infiniti Snow mode FTW!!!!..I still stuck to the right lane... Worried about others hitting my car, unfortunately, my windshield cracked all of the sudden this morning

If anyone needs a hand out of the snow in the south, I'm around all day

This is insane. Stuck in whitefish right now. We've had almost a meter of snow since I drove up friday. Highway 3 is closed for avalanche control most of the morning. Will be an interesting trek back

We left Saturday thinking it was going to be a shit show to get home. But I would have loved to stay for the snow.

One hour to shovel the driveway, 15 minutes to drive to work.

Bought a snowblower today.

I am tempted. What model did you get? Doesn't take me too long to do driveway and sidewalks plus neighbors' sidewalks but 3x a day is not that exciting.

Meh, saw a brand new M2 just came thru 17ave, no problem at all.

[shakalaka]

Edmonton has been surprisingly good compared to Calgary. It's been snowing today but no way near the Calgary level and it's super light snow.

Saw the new that it snowed 80 cm in Chilliwack, BC.

Its pretty much the best type of ski snow, powder. Confirm?

Yes! I have friends that are down at Castle right now, 3 feet in the last 2 days, needless to say i am super jealous. That being said the ski hill reported 'sold out' of lift tickets so only early people were able to ride.
