Still bad and very dangerous without proper tires.

Better take the bus...

Be safe

Wicked wind last night gusting to 60+ kmh, still hasn't really died down but the snow has pretty much stopped.
We got maybe 10-15 cm of wet stuff and it was just cold enough to freeze and stick on contact.
Stuck like barnacles to everything, a real SOB to clean off cars without abusing the paint.

The drive in this morning was no biggie, but I'm on the road by about 6:00am so I beat the rush.
Still had the A/S's on, local streets were slushy and rutted but the main roads were mostly just wet.

Forecast is for 4C tomorrow and 10C on Friday, so it's not going to stick around.

Sounds miserable Craig. Good to hear it's going to be gone soon though.

We know all about 60K winds. We just had 3 days of them and today it's down to about 20k gusting to 30 or so. Fortunately the weather has been warm.

Ouch...We didn't get the 20-30 cm expected in the eastern Ontario, but we did get a couple overnight and it wasn't expected....

Quite a surprise to wake up to the white stuff....

Hope everyone made out ok after their first 'dumping'.
