Default Winter's Back

Well, it's a winter wonderland up here north of Barrie...again.
Started out as rain, it froze, then snow. Got about 5cm now, might get up to 12cm.
Winter tires still on the DD.
Supposed to be cold for a couple of days and then Spring returns.

I know experienced all the changes when I drove in to Mississauga this morning. I hope it doesn't stick around my driveway was suppose to be redone and fresh gravel laid down.

Couple of cm in Pickering this morning.... Just removed winters from the DD over the weekend.

Do they salt/brine the roads for something like this? I expect the stuff melted as soon as it hit the asphalt.

Its April for gawd sake. It ALWAYS snows some in April (and sometimes in May esp on the long weekend!)

And yes u will get salt on your baby (unless you leave it in the garage of course)

It'll be gone in a day or two I think! It's nothing all seasons and sensible driving can't handle.

Exactly! No salt at Yonge & Eg. Snow melted on contact.

unfortunately it probably melted on contact because they sprayed brine all over the road at 5am....

More snow here overnight.
Stayed cold yesterday and overnight, so not melting. Still looks like Winter. Bright sunshine and warmer temperatures tomorrow...maybe Winter's finally surrendered.
