Default Saw the salt trucks out yesterday :(

Damn liquid magnesium chloride crap, spewing all over the road from a huge tanker truck. Which means game over for the 2009 season. Almost made it the "09/10" season. Yay for preventative measures. Why can't they be that proactive with things like the economy?

On a lighter note, though, I found this on my car last night. Think I should call?

Salt truck... damn! I drove mine yesterday in the snow. Spinning at every corner.
I'm gonna store it this weekend. I'm now back driving miss daisy (my 1997 volks golf winter car). So december, Jan, Feb, march, the 951 will probably be out by beginning of april. 4 months, not that bad. Compare to a motorcycle : )

My vote is call too - use *67 first though.

I didn't see any salt trucks in my area of Etobicoke. That must means my perimeter of driving opportunities has just merely been narrowed down to a 10 km radius (from my house to Artisano's)

Watch for conspicuous wet streaks on the road. That's what first tipped me off. There hasn't been rain in days, so why was the road wet in some areas? Then I saw the dreaded tanker truck with jets. Remember, this is the liquid stuff they lay down before the snow falls.

I was sliding all over the place this morning in my A4 quattro with winter tires. It might have been because I was pretending I was in a rally race.

oh we pay our fairshare of taxes,,, just not being in the GTA means that our houses aren't in the crazy bidding bubble that yours are!

- that picture was from yesterday morning....... we're about 10 mins north of Waterloo.

That was our 2nd snow for this winter... the 1st happened on Nov 5th.....
