Black Dog Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just drove from Milton to Kitchener- should have taken the sled! Over an hour of 'Guess which lane I'm in' and saw a guy scraping his windshiled......while driving on the 401! If I didn't have AWD I wouldn't have attempted it and not looking forward to the drive home. When it gets like this I'm more worried about the inexperienced drivers in the little Hondas weaving through traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonCalling Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 quite a bit of snow fell so far (maybe 20cm) and its still snowing now here in London. This will drastically improve our trails which are yellow from St. Marys north. Its a little wet and heavy at the moment so it should help all this white gold stick and stay. Likely even enough to absorb the 10mm of rainf that is predicted for Sunday. And a little snow and cold on tuesday might actually be the combination we are looking for. I hope I'm not being too optimistic. Going for a ride today after lunch. I'll try and post something later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonCalling Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wow, this snow is crazy I am about 15 min south west of ingersoll and I just shovelled at least a foot of snow off the driveway and its filled back in! Snow day for me and no sleds here I hope your sleds arent at your cottage. I'm in London and will be riding after lunch today. Starting at the Science Hill Drifters clubhouse (St. Marys) Snow day for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't have AWD I wouldn't have attempted it and not looking forward to the drive home. When it gets like this I'm more worried about the inexperienced drivers in the little Hondas weaving through traffic. You can say that again. Yesterday in Lakefield I saw a girl in a Infiniti that was stuck on a flat street in about 4" of snow. She was spinning her tires then frustrated got out to look the situation over. Yesterday driving from Apsley to Peterborough and back, I lost count of the number of vehicles I met that didn't have their headlights on. People yes YOU don't need them on to see, but it sure helps OTHERS see you sooner. Especially if you're following a large vehicle creating a lot of blowing snow. I heard a few messages on the radio about slowing down and leaving more room for stopping. Not once did the DJ or police say anything about turning your headlights on. Rant off.

What drives me nuts is seeing people driving in heavy snow with their 4 way flashes going and their lights off but still moving! If you feel the need to put your 4 way flashes on just turn on the lights! My rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel the need to put your 4 way flashes on just turn on the lights! My rant over! I had to drive across town last night around 5 to get the wife at the train station. Saw 4 people driving in town with thier 4 ways on, I wanted to get out at a red light and slap one guy up the side of the head for doing it. If your worried about some one not seeing you so you put your 4 ways on, how about you just get the hell off the road. Nothing worse than following flashing lights in a snow storm.

If your worried about some one not seeing you so you put your 4 ways on, how about you just get the hell off the road. Nothing worse than following flashing lights in a snow storm. Felt the same way. People driving with 4way flashers on are just one more annoying and distracting factor adding to already stressful driving conditions during winter storms. Been one of my pet peeves for years now. Used to mean emergency stop at the side of the road but these days 4way flashers on could mean anything. All anyone has to do is clean the snow from your headlights and tailights to be seen.
