    Both my main UPS died two years ago. Didn't bother getting new ones, just basic surge. Lights flicker but game came through on OTA antenna with only a couple minor hiccups. Impressed that ATSC does so well in rain and snow.

    Last nights roads were actually some of the worse conditions. It took me about 35-40 minutes to get from Aspen to Cowboys Casino area. Then about an hour to get from pho huong back up to Aspen. Accidents all over bow/17th. cops had them both barricaded off, people couldn't get up either roads. sirocco drive was backed up. I think I saw a total of 12 or 13 accidents yesterday in my quick trip. The amount of cars was high as the one on bow trail just west of sarcee had to be 10-20 cars, just a mess. City buses were one of the biggest issues around aspen last night, sliding all over and getting stuck up hill.

    the amount of uber plates I saw last night for driving/food delivery was hilarious though

    Is there honestly any kind of vehicle that's suitable for driving through thick thick slush? I've been back in Calgary since 05 and I swear driving through slush and losing control is scary as fuck!! At least with ice you can get studded tires...

    Stocked up on beer and groceries yesterday at noon before the snow hit, then just chilled at home.

    This morning went for a rip in the Subaru, still on studded winters. Fun having one more pow day to enjoy it with before summer.

    16 minutes for the TV and PVR, fiber modem and router are on a different UPS and over an hour's worth of up-time if my wife's desktop and monitor are turned off. Will be adding more UPS units soon, cheap protection really if you've got spare batteries and can purchase units with dead batteries.
    Will fuck off, again.

    Nah, dark blue and white. Definitely looked to be on summer tires.

    Lots of super slick spots on the road still this morning. Be careful out there!
