That sounds like a good reason for installing seat belts which is what I will need to do in my 56.

Well that sucks Effie well if you guys werent in Saskatoon today well you missed out lol so it started last night there is a blizzard storm warning for Saskatoon so my dad and I thought it would be best to finally get some good weight in my truck which we did put two fat plastic pipes by the fenderwells then put wood between them and i filled the box with snow and the empty space

Well did we get hit today this morning wasnt that bad still bad blowing snow pretty cold i got out fine and got to school okay that weight made a night and day difference so we go on with the day as a normal school day but then after lunch it was getting horrible at about 1:45/1:50 they let us out because buses where shutting down or something and lots of people rely on that service and people needed to get home didntt reccomeed travel

Was it ever bad not horrible like its Saskatchewan come on but one of the worst i have seen I think one of the first blizzards i have experienced so i left and went to hang out at the Underground parking in Market Mall cause they closed preston avenue and many highways and even circle so many accidents and it was that treacherous so couldnt get home and kind of waited till it got better

Luckily i waited out there and headed for downtown where my dad was working well traffic was backed up to tim buck two and there where people stuck and getting pulled out by 4x4s so the winds where like 70km gusting or something and it was like -21 and wind chill -36 so freezing Got home safe and sound and wow i swear so much snow its insane up to your ankle wearing shoes and as a high as the front window people had to use there hazards because the visibility was teribble

Yeah just tons of snow streets are covered i was impressed my truck did well lots of weight helps but when i got home my sister wasnt so i had to get her and unfortunately i couldnt even get out of my stall on the road in front of my house cause of all the snow and ice finally i got out and got up the hill and got my sister now thats when you need 4x4 and limited slip so i dont think ill make it to school tommorow lots of people wont

What a day my dad said he has never seen such a storm like this since he was little on the farm sorry for the long post lol thats my story of the day

I heard that this the worse in the last 10 years and it ain`t over yet. I hope the wind will up die down soon as I need to remove the 2 ft snow drifts across my yard.

The blizzard pretty much missed Regina, I have a couple inches of snow on the driveway and it was fairly windy last night and that's about it.I heard on the radio they shut down the U of S campus, the first time that has happened since 1919.

We had nothing here in Regina. My Dad told me all about it on the phone, he said he wouldn't have made it out of the driveway with the superduty.

We missed all the snow. Got lots of wind and some ground drifting. Now it's just plain cold. I was checking the forecast and in Brandon (which is always a few degrees warmer than here) It's -36 winchill -50. Now that's getting pretty cold. The forecast calls for -41 in the next couple days.
