Back in 2008, Ottawa actually got a snowstorm. In Ottawa snow can fall most months other than the summer months.
Yes, the forecast “weather bomb” has appeared and dumped a bunch of snow on Ottawa, thus causing all drivers to lose their brains, forget how to drive in snow. The added excitement that even those who own snow tires most likely do not have them on their cars yet, so today will be a day for accidents and arriving very late at work, if at all (thus causing significant economic hardship for a lot of folks (ok, not really but I needed to connect it back to Finance somehow)).
This kind of weather excitement will cause the CAA to take hours to respond due to their towing service being overtaxed pulling folks out of ditches, cause the police to answer hundreds of calls about accidents and will have Hydro crews out restoring power to lots of folks, so maybe it would be a good day to be Calm, and pleasant with everyone? Just idea, folks, we are all in it together!
Caution for Ontario Drivers
Put on your snow tires if you live around Ottawa is the first caution because we DO need snow tires up here (I don’t think I can convince folks from Toronto that, and if you live in Windsor or Niagara, yes, you can live with all seasons, I guess).
For those who can drive across a bridge to Quebec, here is an interesting quandary: Quebec has mandatory snow tire laws. Are they going to enforce those laws for out-of-province vehicles? I would guess they might not, but you never know.
Looks like a good day to stay home with eggnog (or just rum), candy canes, and Christmas carols.
It should all lt, but then again, who knows? Good on the rum however
