    I watched 2 BMW 335is wearing all seasons struggle to climb a slight incline in the left hand turn lane on 2 separate occasions. Will Bimmer drivers ever learn?!

    Driving tonight is fun. A few members and my entire family can say I told you so about not changing to summer tires yet. Glad I listened and haven't yet.

    I have seen 3 fender benders tonight and someone hit/scrape the wall on the 401 WB between Bathurst and Keele.

    Drive safe.

    Be careful on the side streets, at least out in the Centennial Park area. They are all icy and will be worse if the temperatures drop.
    Funny thing is, the sidewalks have been plowed and nadda for the roads....

    I am working up in Ottawa right now and saw a sidewalk plow with a powerbroom sweeping the sidewalks going to guess they already switched it to summer mode figuring snow was all done for year

    Saw an accident last night because of the ice on the roads. Drive safe and get winter tires if you don't have them. Traffic to work wasn't too bad but the side roads have not yet been sprayed with salt so they were a bit slippery.

    Lol. So many dumbasses cruising around last night without snow tires.

    I shovelled my parents place 3 times and there is still 5" of snow....
    My parking space was the worst. Snow drift on the passenger side was as tall as the roof. Took an hour to shovel all that out.

    Dumbasses are the guys ordering for delivery last night.

    Stopped at McD’s on the way home - and all the orders for Skip The Dishes / Uber Eats pick up was ridiculous.

    Neighbor works at Pizza Pizza - and all the people that cancelled their order because the “45 minutes or free” policy is not valid during extreme weather.

    Last night, this morning and most days with snow on the ground, I have helped push cars up the hill of my side street. One woman last night upon my comment that she doesn't have snow tires on her SUV. "But I have four wheel drive", my reply "That just means all for of your wheels are spinning and not getting traction". Felt like I was explaining rocket science.

    Why does Ontario not mandate snow tires ?

    We really should.
    Quebec does....

    I don't push cars anymore. Had a bad time when the guy rolled back & knocked me down to the ground on the Wilson hill.

    This morning 2 people parked their cars on Wilson and left them overnight lol. 1 was a 3rd gen Mazda3 lol. They Couldn't make it up the hill with their stupid all season tires.

    They Should mandate...Im on winters and rims
    You should not be on the road with all season when there is more than 2cm of snow.
    Absolutely no traction once it all goes slushy...
    but i know my insurance discounts if i use winter tires...

    You're confusing SD and LA. Here it's all green and it gets smoked...eaten... or ingested somehow!
