and the plows
don’t bothercan’t catch upBe safe out there. Not here, I’ve yet to see snow in Ontario, but I think Alberta’s getting it hard.
It’s been pretty awesome here in Calgary. Was getting worried there that ski season was going to be delayed. But I love a good snow dump to start winter. It sucks when it’s cold and icy but no snow to cover things up.
Probably sucks for anyone that has to commute right now though.
Only white raillanes matter.
Viva la railvolucion!
(and those don’t need plowing to quite some extend)Just make sure your switches are heated. In the arctic, they build little houses around their switches to keep it from getting completely snowed up

Here’s some pictures of their snow sweepers too
Yeah I wouldn’t drive unless you really need to. The wind can start blowing which will make the visibility drop to about 3 inches.
I kinda like it because it makes it feel like we are flying at warp eight to the next star system … then I have not snap out of that fantasy and remember that this could also kill me
There’s nothing like counting 7 lanes in a road you know is 4.
or wondering if the light up ahead is a vehicle … or the gates of heaven because you already died in that fiery 12 car pile up on the highway a minute ago.
VERY EFFICIENT!
You stop for a pee break on the side of the highway, walk ten feet away from your car and now you can’t find it
Find warm squishy place to rest.
In 15 minutes, you’ll feel comfy everywhere. Just lay down and have a nap under the warm white blanket, friend!
I haven’t laughed this hard all day… thank you!
I prefer the spinoff, “Whose parking spot is it anyway?”
Lunchtime when it melts it just looks like they showed up to work drunk
So… lunchtime then.
That’s easy. It’s always the BMW’s spot. Even when it clearly isn’t.
The parking spot is where you stop the sliding.
I stay the fuck home when this shit goes down. Its just not worth it!
I get excited about getting to use my 4 wheel drive and make up excuses to drive to the store. “Oops, I think we need more gas for the generator. Be back in 3 hours!”
Driving a 4-wheeler in a snowstorm sounds exhilarating, but unfortunately, my car struggles significantly in snowy conditions!
It is! I’m always happy when I see a big Ford F-150 stuck on the side of the road too, since it’s the only time I get to use 4 low gear. I was even able to pull a Ford F-150 with a fully loaded flatbed trailer attached out of the snow. Not bad for a V6!
That’s impressive! Great job assisting someone like me, who would likely have been stuck in the snow.
I’m always happy to help!
Gotta work to live.
I have the option to work from home, and I understand that not everyone has this privilege, which makes my comment come across as somewhat inconsiderate.
I don’t mind the roads so much. We plow the roads to have a snowbank on the ditch edges to act as bumpers to keep idiots and fools from careening off the road into a tree. As a retired medic, it made it easier to get people out of their cars and with less serious injuries.
What really pisses me off is the inability of people to park correctly in a parking lot. When the lines get covered in snow pack, everyone loses their minds and just start to randomly park anywhere and in any direction. I’ve seen clown park across two parking spots. And it stays that way for a least 6 months out of the year.
Surely this is no issue at all, because everyone will reduce their speed, increase safety distances, drive more carefully and when in doubt, yield to others, right?
This makes me think, what happens in countries like the Netherlands that use “shark teeth” markings on the street mostly in addition but partially instead of yield signs… either chaos or everybody is driving more carefully (unlikely)
When there’s snow in the Netherlands, everyone just stops and waits for it to melt.
Gestures at a car that did barrel rolls at a 4-way stop with a speed limit of 50km/h with 1 inch of snow on the ground.
Yeah. Sure thing.
Definitelt happens for first snow here in Estonia if it comes down unexpected.
2 days later we’re back to being assholes.
as someone from Florida (USA) who has only ever seen snow once on a winter trip, literally every few months I learn something horrific about snow that makes it seem a little bit worse
Last months was that the salt that melts snow can essentially melt cars metal over enough time
Then it was that there’s invisible ‘black ice’
Now paint lines literally don’t exist?! How do you exist over there? I’m literally dieing in like 50°F weather (10°C)

Like this
and this
When it gets cold enough outside, it kind of hurts to breath because the cold air kind of stings the inside of your lungs.
Those are the best days to go outside when you can feel the brittleness of the air.
I loves me some crunchy air
snow land is better than swamp land. try it out and stay a lifetime
Even during the summer the lines are usually faded away so even on good nights you can barely see them. And because of plows no reflectors like down south.
We gots sunken reflectors in BC. Some escape the scrape.
We get down to -50C (-58f) here, on a cold snap. Working outdoors sucks in that.
Even my pawns in Rimworld don’t work outdoors during a cold snap. And i harvest them for organs and stuff.
what the fuck???
Brrr.
A lot of shit breaks when it’s that cold
In India, the lines are just Grafitti and don’t really mean anything.
It usually denotes the minimum number of lanes you should be driving in.
The worst is when it’s a 2 lane highway and the snow on the shoulder starts slowly encroaching into your lane. You’re never quite sure if you’re being pushed into oncoming traffic or not.
And you have your kids in the car
We play this game in South Africa too. Not because it snows, but because the lines don’t get repainted soon enough even if they’re completely faded. And instead of snow ploughs, we have taxis (the minibus versions) that just drive wherever and however they want.
Nothing like successfully geoguessing a meme about winter driving instead of working. OP is actually correct about it being in Canada
Highway 401 eastbound, just west of Kennedy Road
I still don’t understand how you people do it, but just in case you weren’t aware yet:
