They are very well equipped for MOST snow situations. A one in 100 years occurrence is a different story - and the mayor KNEW they had more than they could handle so called in the military.

I'd never dream of taking the experience away from the natives. I'll bug out, thanks.
They certainly waited around longer than I plan to. My plan is more like riding out hurricanes in Minnesota.

My late father-in-law was one wild guy. Once, in southern Louisiana, he had to come back from working offshore, driving from Venice, Louisiana to Lafayette, Louisiana after things were seriously iced up. In Baton Rouge, as well as along the way, there are high arching bridges in the Interstate. He would just get a run at them, then at the top, put it into reverse, and apply a little gas to spin the tires backwards and keep in a straight line.
There are a lot of things one can do in bad weather, but some of them do not occur to most folks.
My late father-in-law was a legend on doing things outside the envelope.

Well, you're a little out of date. If I remember correctly, about a year ago, they took some type of public poll and officially named the area, "The Beach" ~ so public signs and stuff are all uniform. I've always called it the Beaches and will continue to do so. Aside from spending our money wherever they please, politicians have nothing better to do than run around and rename stuff (or sell it off like the Skydome). Screw rogers as far as I'm concerned. Monopolistic, greedy, anti-competitive outfits get as little of my money as I can orchestrate.

Speaking of such, I hope Molson's is being charge accordingly for their disruption along their planned route.

huge vats with a capacity of six million bottles each. Damn, that's a LOT of mediocre beer!

He was lucky. The surest way to spin is to break _rear_ traction, which is "put it in reverse" does.
How did he become "late"?

He died in his sleep, not kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car.
No, he just wore out. He died of old age complications.
