well... at the same time.... this is what we get... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBk0-xTvjT0

We once had a thread that included discussion about Quebecois curses (I don't know if you were here as our expert at that time :scratch2:) But that video; I don't think I've heard "tabernak" so many times in one 30 second stretch:laugh:

Maybe the thread drift can revert to that learning curses thread;)

How is Toronto at clearing snow? Most Jason fans remember how he totaled his car in the snow not long before Sochi because, as he said, Colorado doesn't treat the roads the way Chicago does. ...

I am surprised. Denver gets almost twice as much snow as Chicago (62 inches versus 35 inches). If Colorado doesn't know how to prepare their roads, it must be that it is just so snowy that they have given up and "let the traveller beware."

By the way, the last two years the annual snowfall in Colorado has been only about half of the historic average. This is a big concern for ski resorts. It must be all those California forest fires that are making everything hotter in the Western half of the United States in recent years.

It costs money and people in this state don't want.... Never mind. Secondary roads don't get treated here at all unless it snows more than a foot. Some neighborhoods get their streets plowed if they have a high homeowners association fee that covers it. Otherwise, unless you live on a street with a school, forget it. That's why your home's orientation to the sun is so important. The sun will do the clearing for you in CO a lot of the time if your drive and sidewalk face south or west.

Sorry for the diversion. I'm guessing it won't be snowing in TO until at least.... November?

Depends...

Usually the first snow is November or December, but the occasional year with an October snowfall isn't unheard of...

Denver is awful at clearing snow and has a horrible accident rate. I guess they don’t see the connection. :). To be fair, it’s not just the snow - there are a ton of terrible drivers here.
 
In my mind I can see Joseph teaching this ditty to the non-Canadian skaters in preparation for SCI in Laval. Anyone need an exhibition number for SCI that salutes local life?

Maybe for worlds but i doubt it will be like this in october for sci. ;)
