Public service announcement

To all you drivers out there in Accordion City and other areas hit by last night’s snow storm:

SNOW IS SLIPPERY.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, the white stuff falling from the sky is the same kind of snow that fell last year, the year before and all prior years. They haven’t improved or upgraded it with a higher-traction version. It plays havoc with traction (especially if you didn’t get your snow tires on yet), increases braking distances, and if you’re like the idiot in the silver Honda Accord who was a few hundred metres ahead of me, it will cause your car to spin like a top if you drive as if you were auditioning for Corvette Summer. The solution is to drive more slowly and leave considerably more braking room, especially when the snow’s falling.
