… Winter is coming.
People who have only ever complained about the never ending winters have finally begun to wish for snow. Well, it seems winter has finally arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba. On November 18th, late in the afternoon it began to snow covering the roads in a melty, icy sheen. This autumn has been an unusually mild on for the prairie province and the snow could be looked on as a welcome change covering the discoloured grass and leafless trees. However with the return of winter comes the struggle of driving. Winnipegers are notorious for forgetting how to drive in winter conditions, even with much of their year being winter conditions.
This evening there was a seventeen car pileup on Bishop Grandin Boulevard that is being blamed on the slippery conditions. Thankfully only one person suffered minor injuries with the others uninjured however this should serve as a reminder, we have to drive differently in winter!
Please be safe as you’re driving over the next few days! Winter is likely here to stay for a bit, we best knuckle down and get used to it.
