I had around 0.00021748 miles of snow. Was like shoveling a slurpee though and kept sticking to the shovel. Costco didn't have any shovels yet either so I had to use my old brokeass one where the metal portion is coming off and the plastic is quite worn.

Someone dropped one on 22X. I had to swerve around the shovel.
Being a cheap ass I would have stopped and picked it up. But I live in a condo, so I have minions that undertake that peasantry for me.

City of Edmonton plows just started pulling up beside me on the QE2. Been here 3.5 hours now.

Ah so about 0.00173984 furlongs. Damn

Finally got home. That accident on the QE2 was apparently fatal and boy was it a shit show. I was the first vehicle through and there was at least 50 vehicles involved on both sides of the highway I’d say, traffic heading North was stationary for 11km.

Roads in decent shape on the main connectors, a little slushy / icey in some areas but a vast improvement to yesterday.
85th to Bow (from 14th) is in bad shape, lots of ice ruts but overall you could almost do the speed limit all the way in.

Still not helping lol.

40 bro. What does that have to do with anything?

I think he's asking because inches are rarely used for snow accumulation here. The one coworker that I've ever heard say it (in regards to snow

) is in his 60s.

Crowchild is in bad shape again this morning. Ice covered going North from Glenmore and is at a slow crawl right now.

Exactly bro.

Spent 5 more mins than average on the commute today. Would've been only 2 more mins if it wasn't for this guy forcing me to detour.

How do you get stuck coming out of an alley? Rolling on summers?

How many mph did it take to clear?

The roads in McKenzie Towne look like literal skating rinks, plows are going to make things even worse

**JfuckinC** · 10-03-2018, 08:14 AM

Left at 7:10, made it same as i usually would leaving at that time. Some roads are definitely slick though on my fairly well used Toyo AT II's haha

Probably a bit late, I left my house at 7:15, got to sirocco @ 7:43.... was not happy with that. People going slow AF

On the plus side my brother picked me up that xtra low powerbuilt jack from PAuto yesterday (the costco one is probably nicer and $60 cheaper but hey... desperate). So at least now I can rip all the donuts and drifting I want without getting stuck!

**Xtrema** · 10-03-2018, 08:41 AM

Some old ass rwd F150 with shitty tire was stuck crossing northbound shag spinning his tires for good 5mins before he gave up and went northbound instead. There is no way that damn thing and go southbound and up nosehill with those shitty tires.

**ZenOps** · 10-03-2018, 08:44 AM

Its beautiful out there with the full sun. Like living on a cloud.

**schocker** · 10-03-2018, 09:08 AM

Took me an hour today after 0 yesterday

Idiot mustang who couldn't make it onto shag from sage hill, then 4 cars stuck/spun out on shag and then easy going once I got to John Laurie.
