A few inches of snow. Cue panic!!!
Dec. 5th, 2016 04:51 pmIt took me TWO HOURS to get to work today. My usual commute is about thirty minutes. UGH!!!! This city just shuts DOWN when we get a few inches of snow, damnit! This morning the buses were down, the Skytrain was down, the roads were near impassable between slushy snow and idiot drivers getting into accidents because they try to drive in snow just like they drive in rain. And it's supposed to be cold tonight, which means all the snow and slush on the roads and sidewalks will freeze up, causing yet more problems tomorrow as I try to walk on an ice rink and cars slither around all over the street.
Aaaarggghhhh!!!!!
I got home okay, mercifully. One of my co workers doesn't live too far from me and he drives. He was worried about getting into difficulties on my side street, so he dropped me at the nearest intersection with a big street. I only had to walk four blocks, yay! He doesn't usually leave at the same time as me, but shortly before I was due to leave, my boss started telling everyone to pack up and get home.
And it's STILL frelling snowing! Not very hard, admittedly, but frozen water continues to fall from the sky and aggravate me.
Apparently all classes at SFU were cancelled today. The university authorities correctly gauged that the buses wouldn't be able to get up Burnaby Mountain. So, everybody, stay safe out there. Drive carefully, and pedestrians, the visibility is horrendous, so consider a brightly coloured scarf or something.
