Fucking bad day could've been much, much worse...
Left the house 2 mins late, so I effectively missed my GO train...
How do I know? I was stopped at the GO crossing with the lights flashing, barrier about to come down in about 5-10 seconds...
Minivan comes screaming from behind, and I guess was about to rear-end me, he honked, and moose-maneuvered, passing me on the right... Clipped the gate holder thing, right front wheel went all wobbly and looked pushed back...
Had he not swayed, he would have fucking smashed into me, pushing me onto the tracks, directly in front of the GO train

There was snow up here on Halloween last year, although it didn't stick around. I'd guess late Oct, early Nov.

Awd, good winter tires, snow mode, heated steering wheel and seat on made for a comfortable commute. Heated steering wheel is the best - never cared for it before but now after having one I want one for every car.
This car is pretty damn good in snow I'm impressed however almost every other car on the road on the way in was pretty shitty lol. 20-30 min commute became 1.5hrs rolling along.

It's not all about just not having a cold steering wheel. It's like heated seats - sure your seat isn't cold but better yet it's nice because it's warm. You also don't need a lot of things but doesn't mean it isn't better with them.

Not sure how the dude spun out. I blame it on All Season tires
I blame the dude for: 1) not knowing the limits of said (potential) all season tires 2) not driving according to the road conditions (plowed road doesn't mean its free of ice) 3) not putting on winter tires to help with inability to drive on all-season tires in said condition
It's not the fault of the inanimate object; it's the brainless object behind the wheel.

Ariens are bad ass. My dad has one. Went over to his place an hour ago to shovel his driveway. 20 minutes! Heated handles were kinda nice too.

I'm seriously starting to consider a snow blower now... But that $750 hit doe
Spent 20 mins shovelling last night (accumulated all day), neighbour didn't help shovel at all... Another 10 mins this AM.
City of Markham sidewalk snow removal FTW!

You should be able to find a decent used blower that's a few years old for $350-$400.. A lot of the older blowers are better than anything you can buy these days.

Bought a Toro snowblower for $530 a few months back and used it for the first time yesterday. Completed both my driveway and the neighbour's in 15 mins. Worth every penny...

I've been holding off on a snowblower purchase for a few years because the value isn't there for me despite having the equivalent of a 6 car driveway to shovel, however the fact that you can be the neighbourhood hero and then have people "owe you one" seems to be totally worth it
When we had that huge dump of snow last year, I started shoveling and wanted to die. Neighbour came by and offered me his snowblower, not gonna lie I was ready to go on my knees

I love my Arien Snotek -- finished my driveway, sidewalk and cleared the snow mountain at the foot of my neighbour's driveway (street plow aftermath) in 20-25 min.

My buddy makes a mint in the winter buying 'broken' snowblowers, fixing them up then reselling. Most of them that don't start need a $10 carb job, lol.
Vas, if you buy a good snowblower it should last you 20 years.. There's no reason not to have one, unless you actually like shoveling snow.

If you don't get a lot of snow, electric would probably work fine. But if you get a dump, goodluck.

I guess with that you could at least hang it up in the garage during the summer time. Not something I'd ever consider.

The only thing you might be charged on top of tax is an assembly fee, although most places will waive that.

So what's up with those other charges?
They probably have that on all their webpages.. You don't license a snowblower, lol.

"Extreme Cold Warning"
Or as I like to call it: Winter
I don't remember ever receiving an 'Extreme Cold Warning' when we were kids growing up. It was 'Well you better wear and extra scarf on the walk to school'

TIL: Canada Goose Women's Parkas have built-in (elastic) shoulder straps, so that they can wear it 'like a knapsack' when they're in the mall, etc...
The woman screams bloody murder and whines that she's melting whenever she's wearing her (non-CG) jacket in the mall, that doesn't have shoulder straps...
Seems only 1 woman's model has it; none of the men's models have it

I don't recall people going out in the middle of frozen winter with a regular water gun, shooting water in the air, and that shit just turns straight to powder/fog...

was it? yours had the furry shit on the hood no? or is that removable?
reason behind wanting a fake one is just for the look. i'm super picky when it comes to jackets, and to be honest that goose i posted is probably the only one i would buy (unless there's one that looks exactly like it), but like i said, i only wear it to walk from the parking garage to the door, less than 2mins...hence fake one lol
oh and it doesn't have to be super-keep-my-balls-warm, at work i wear a nicer hoodie because it's blasted cold in here so i'll be warm with that underneath.

I wear my ski jacket when it's extremely cold. Got it at half price near end of the winter a couple years back. It's light, durable, and water proof. There are way too many people in CG jackets. Unless they sell ones with black labels again, I won't be wearing it.
lol hoe noes white and red label

For those of you who are poor I recommend the windriver parka from mark's. Regular is $300, on sale every winter between $99-$150. I've had mine for a few years now and use it on cold days like today, solid jacket, very good quality, it also has fantastic customer reviews.

+1 i had a reversible windriver winter puffy jacket and it has held up very well. don't wear it anymore because of colors but great value from this brand.
cant find the parka on their site? what is mark's actual name for it? the 3-piece one?
