So I drove to edmonton yesterday for work. In the city it was nuts, people sliding all over. Out near lashburn (i think it was lashburn) there was two pretty bad accidents with semis that rolled over and they were crushed.

Just a note guys, keep your head on when it gets icy!!

It is surprising how fast people forget how to drive in bad conditions.

Road conditions change in a hurry with even a little bit of snow, ice or freezing rain.
Glad we don`t get black ice around often here.
