Another light blogging forecast

I had meant to do some blogging yesterday, but I was prevented from doing so by the horrifying presence of snow on the roads. Not that the snow and ice was that much of an issue, but Toronto area drivers need at least a month's worth of snow before they start to recall that you can't drive on a snowy or icy road as if it's midsummer.

Toronto drivers go through three phases: denial, blind terror, and (finally) resigned acceptance. This week we're just starting the denial phase. It's as if they can't believe that something. Is. Falling. From. The. Sky. It cannot be . . . we will pretend that it is not happening and continue to drive 20 Kph over the posted speed limit.

Sometime next week, the blind panic will set in, and every snowflake will require the army to be called out.

Only after all of that will a few snowflakes not cause the entire GTA to grind to a halt.

Do not forget to mention all the SUV and other big vehicle drivers who think that just because they are in a big *ssed vehicle they can drive like idiots. They do not realize that if their vehicle is that much bigger, so will their stopping distance. Maybe they are trying to compensate for something... Posted by: Da Wife at December 4, 2007 12:47 PM
