Now I wanna NegRep you because I can't figure out WtF is going on. LoL!!

What do cars hate about that? Only thing I could maybe picture is the paint, but only if it was a classic with 100 coat lacquer, or something.

It's time for my annual comment that it's worth plugging your car into a battery charger overnight in these temperatures.

Idling the car doesn't charge the battery particularly effectively.

Just get more batteries. My truck has two boxes of lightning under the hood because one isn't enough. If two is better than one, six should be better than two. And it's green energy because you don't have to plug in a charger. Just keep stacking them in there until the bitch starts.

I don't know how electricity works but I enjoy taking part in conversations.

Worst commute ever, took me 28 mins to get home!!!

Jk that’s pretty good based on how slow traffic was.

[ExtraSlow]

Sounds legit.

Any suggestions on a solar powered version?

I have no suggestions for equipment of that type. I like battery chargers that operate overnight in the middle of winter.

I think people are stuck on that 14th St hill by sait. Very backed up on 14th leaving downtown.
Crowchild bridge seemed a stand still when I looked at it while driving down memorial Dr.

Drove by a few mins ago, two people 2 people stuck in the right turn lane but free flowing otherwise.

Good to know.
Maybe this is the one that gets the 10yr old all-season tire ballers off the roads for the rest of the season.

I sent my wife out in the vehicle that has the winter tires. I stayed home to drink. #budgetballer

[ZenOps]

Its nearly 2022. I fully expect groceries to be airlifted to my front door for a nickel. Techknowlowgy.

Galen Weston has got you all conditioned into thinking it should be expensive.

[dj_rice]

Thinking of heading down but its pretty slick roads all in Edmonton, I imagine Calgary is the same?

[ThePenIsMightier]

It should be what you'd typically expect 16hr after 3-5 cm of snow came and the temp plummeted.
My guess is it's a long way from ideal, but not treacherous? I'd expect traffic on The Crown Royal Highway (QE2) to be bad today, but dead tomorrow.

Ya, I’m stuck driving from Calgary to a ways north of Edmonton today. Hope my wife won’t need to push the truck much on this journey.
