Well, that LOVELY "Snow Squall" (Try blizzard assholes!) made my commute from Brantford to Petawawa last night take 8 hours.
From Barrie to Orillia, 40km's/hr with the hazzard lights on. Stop in Orillia to get gas, and end up sliding into a tubular type fence and lightpole at the end of the driveway of the gas station, and ruin the original bumper on my 30 year old truck, as well as part of the lower left fender, and the turn signals.
After being pulled out by a newschool 4x4 Seirra, I continued on my way...all of 60km's/hr from Orillia to Whitney (east end of Algonquin park), where I could finally start to go quicker. I left around 2, didn't get here until almost 9:30 last night.
On top of that, I think I have the flu, I spent money I didn't have to put a stereo in the truck a day before, and today it wouldn't start (frozen battery and fuel...-46C with the windchill here today boys and girls).
Now, I'm doing what I can to keep warmer, and I have to bum rides until it goes above -20 so the damned truck will start.
As the topic sez, winter sucks!
