To answer my own question from yesterday, I saw one (1) snow plow today! However, it didn’t appear near our workplace until 5:15 PM. The good thing is that it did two rounds. I don’t think it helped much, as there was plenty of black ice forming after it left (they forgot to spray sand!).

I left work at about 6 PM, and lost my fleece scarf in the process of clearing snow off the windshield and rear window of the Accord. Being dark color it is (black), I didn’t notice that it was missing (must have flown off) until I got home. Oh well, I’m not too sentimental about the scarf, but it sure was comfy. I think I picked it up from Whistler two years ago, but I hadn’t used it since. I got three days of use out of it. What a bad investment!

Drivers were fairly patient in the vicinity of our workplace, but the minute I entered the core of the city, someone let the crazies out!? I don’t know what joy some (<1% of population) people get out of quickly accelerating over black ice and then slamming on their brakes. Perhaps, they enjoy the feeling of being ‘free’ for a few mere seconds and then realizing they can’t gain control (offending other drivers and creating a driving hazard). Yes, some (not all) people. It looks wet, like rain, but it’s frozen. Like a popsicle. Hence, black ice. Slipppppery stuff. Argh, if they only understood that.

I guess that’s enough rambling for a day
