I’m in Edmonton, I think that is clear. I’m in Edmonton while it is suffering a freak snow storm. Which I can handle, I do after all live in Fort St John, what amazes me is the craziness of the streets with snow.
There are two contributing factors to this statement. One is the fact that Edmonton roads and city planning is wack. There isn’t much sense there. You miss a turn, bam, you ended up on the other side of the river and can’t figure out how to get back to where you came from. Very frustrating, but livable… The second is the weather. Edmonton gets some wacked weather. Fort example this evening it was snowing like crazy and was only -2 which was making the snow wet and heavy.
So combining a confusing road system and heavy wet snow gets you a big mess. No traffic lanes, no common sense. By no fault of the City road crews if we hadn’t of been in a truck we would have gotten stick quickly on some of the side streets.
