Not so much a problem in the busy traffic areas but the areas that are calm are a low priority so very little or no salt or anything is laid out on the roads there. I cycle a lot if I want to go anywhere and cycling through this becomes terribly exhausting and tedious because you're constantly trying to keep your bike straight going over bumpy iceroads only to slip and fall anyway.

I hate winter.

I would have thought that we would be more prepared for it now though, considering we have had snow this time of year for the last 3/4 years. I can understand that perhaps the first few years we couldn't do alot, but now we should be more aware of this kind of thing and now when it does come people are just gonna complain about it, theres going to be no real gritting strategy so transport is going to be a nightmare, it just seems like we need more organisation.

Also black ice sucks. Like REALLY sucks.

This so much. It doesn't even snow here a whole ton, but like Tristan pointed out, the snow here tends to melt and refreeze, causing ice, causing fucking everything to be either unable to go, or unable to stop.

I love winter when I don't actually have to go places. You know, like, during Christmas break for example. Otherwise, no thanks.

I like the way it looks initially. It's pretty. However... it turns into this disgusting slush and doom after about a day. And NO ONE knows how to drive. People in the ditches galore.

At least you all have snow. I live in California, where it *never* snows, ever. I love snow; it's like you're in another world. You can make snow angels, have snowball fights, build snow figures, and see your breath in the air.

Once snow becomes a regular thing for you, it is MUCH less appealing

Holy fuck like 3 feet in our driveway, and 15 inches in our entire subdivision. Got stuck and needed a push on our way in :C then a lot of manual labour clearing out to make room for the car.

It's really beautiful lookin tho, the snow on the trees and the quietness that's all around~ awesome atmosphere.

Depends what you need to do. Right now I have no real places to go/do not need to work out in the snow, so it's perfectly alright to me B)

We need to be more organized tho, SUV snowmobiles and such for the right occasions~

I always go for walks right after a snowstorm because it is literally the quietest it will be during the daytime ever in a year.

Yeah, I hate snow, too.

I live 20 minutes from Niagara Falls, ON. It snowed yesterday. We hardly got anything, just a very small sheet that melted away quickly. One little sliver of it is still in my backyard. Nothing to make a big deal about, since I live in Canada.

"Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.
