It's just snow so stop being Torontarded!

[Slade]

Took me longer to brush and dig the truck out this morning then it did to get to work.

17mins from Brant st to Burloak on the highway, not to bad at all, just take it easy on the ramps.

It looks like we got 2x as much as you. I had about 4-5 inches ontop of the roof when I cam out this morning.

You're right, Pickering wasn't so bad coming home from Markham. By the time I hit the York-Durham townline it was mainly brown slush

Just thankful most of the world gets this week off. Made the drive in to work today a bit more bearable

Not a bad drive but traction control was going crazy!

[optiklenz13]

What can I say. It was nice cruising on side streets to the drop off my kids before hitting work this morning.

I wish the Jeep came with a that was easy button. LOL!

So many people without snow tires. Had a guy this morning in a corolla try to change lanes. He hit the snow bank between the lanes and spun 180 and stopped right in front of me. Thank god for me hankooks.

My favorite though are people who jump in their car, turn the wipers on and go. Soooo lazy.

[trulankan]

the 401W was not bad this morning around 10am, saw couple of cars pull off to the shoulder at times and saw a smashed up Prius getting towed away but it wasnt too bad. Changing lanes was kinda tense tho cause i could feel the car slipping even tho i'm on X-ice 2's :/ The drive from my house to the highway was interesting tho. I did a powerslide with my back wheels while making a right turn going like 20km/h lol freaked out a dude in a civic in the opposite end, saw him mouthing OMG lol

[genericmoniker]

If those Xi2s are more than a year or two old chances are you've worn through the "good" part of the tires.

My Hankooks are doing a great job dealing with this stuff, though it really isn't much. I just hate having to watch out for people who feel the need to slam on their breaks only to mash the go pedal to make a turn. Almost rear ended someone because they were too lazy to brush the snow off the pack of their pathfinder. No lights+no vision out back=bad idea.

this year there are alot more noob winter drivers...transit buses are passing these people....that's how slow they drive.

[loki]

Just saw a car spin out in the 401 off ramp to Weston road


Would have been nice to get this snow for Christmas Day

It's nice

[09ms3]

Worst I saw was a Ford Explorer, thing was sliding all over the place, just cause people have a 4WD, they think they will be fine on their bald all seasons, brutal

you'd be surprised how fast buses usually go sometimes. they are good in winter with their huge tires like trucks. I was going around 85km/h on the highway today whereas most were going 70km/h and the trucks were going 100km/h on the left lane sometimes lol i should point out this was outside of "rush hour"

145 kph on the qew today with no issues

What time were you on the 401? Holy Shit, I was on the 401E at 5:30am after a gruelling 10 hour shift, the 401 was pure crap at 5:30am . I don't think they even put any salt down, the roads were bad, not many could go over 60kph safely. Almost lost it twice on Hoggs Hollow bridge, also had to crash barrel thru atleast 2 foot walls of snow left by earlier plows, and to top it off I don't think they even plowed Kennedy or Midland by that point. I had a terrible time with traction. Think it may be time for a new set of snows.

You would have never been able to do that on the 401, you'd be in a guard rail for sure. I checked out CP24 when I got home, some areas had been plowed and salted well, others were in terrible shape!....I give a thumbs down to the city plowing this storm, too slow to react or just bad planning. It was a holiday and an overnight storm, what could possibly be the reasons for not having the Major Highway in Canada/Toronto not plowed properly by 5:30am? or some major roads at all?...beats me.

p.s Who sells Nokia Hakkapalittas for a decent price in the GTA? ...anyone?

Someone set up a group buy for driveway snow removal.

[iconicrocket]

Was on the QEW and 427 last night while travelling to the airport. Had snow tires on and that fresh snow made it difficult, white knuckle driving all the way through. ABS was hitting like mad when I was in the city and had my attention all on the road.

Feel like upgrading to a CX-5 for this weather.

Takes 26min to get home from work in the morning without snow took 26.5min to get home in the snow.

Work 7am time to go home


Rolling home smiling






Btw love the title haha so true

[leungalv]

I don't think it's all "Torontarded" ... barely any buses and cars could get up that dip on Yonge near Clark

[Aitch]

Still waiting for this "snow" y'all are talking about...
