Hows Groat Raod today/Yellow head ? do you go on them?
I was out lastnight bombing around, it was drifting across sherwood park freeway and a few feet of snow on the road at some points and on the side streets down around white had almost a foot on them! In the morning I take Baseline down 98th, to River Valley road, Groat Road, Usually a good route but all the hills and that round-a-bout, was stand-still. Then got stuck on the McDonald bridge for an hour, it was brutal!
Haven't been out today yet, gotta go get some shovels at canadian tire so i will get a few pics of what its like out here, I think there is more snow out here in Sherwood Park!

Sweet! All we got here was a light dusting of snow this morning. It was still enough to get me out of bed early to drive the Subaru.

AWD + rear limited slip + turbo + manual transmission = freakin awesome to drive in the snow!

On the bright side you didn't have to spend an hour shoveling out the your driveway! Or get stuck in traffic for 3 hours on your way to work. It's not all fun and games! haha

was talking to my sister in Carstairs AB she said it was brutal..

no snowfall warnings where i live that i know of.. got a light dusting a couple days ago but its starting to melt now.. ya booo on the shoveling... we got a walkbehind self-propelled snowblower to plow the snow.. it also has heated hand grips and power spray chute too.. haha.. im hoping in feb or march i can afford to put the truck back on the road just in time for the mud.. haha

I wouldn't call it Canadian temperature as much as I would everywhere in the world except the U.S. temperature, or "Degrees Celsius" if you want to get technical. lol

yeah -25F is plenty easy to hit Andy. We usually get a stretch of -25 to -40 here in MN sometime mid winter. With all this global warming we have, we had a record like 30 days below zero last winter.
