Instead, the snow stopped with a few minute, and it was sunny and it never snowed again since. So full of fail.

Just take it really really slow and you should be okay. main roads as mentioned are clear and dry almost. just have to be careful when it comes to small side streets and you should manage just fine Posted via RS Mobile | |

An hour later and I'm on snows.
I picked up snow tires and rims for < $500, averaged over 5 years that's $100 for peace of mind.

What's the number to call to report houses that repeatedly,
refuse to shovel their 3 inch thick of ice covered sidewalk?
The RCMP? The City? Which department?

The RCMP? The City? Which department? | Make sure the house(s) are not occupied by seniors. If so, you should shovel the snow for them. My mom is 90 years old and lives in a house all by herself. I can't be there all the time, but this young couple who lives next door, shovels the sidewalk for her.
Of course, I thank them and bring them stuff whenever I can. Good neighbours = priceless.
