Listen, I'll concede it's dangerous and it sucks, and that lack of experienced drivers make it totally justifiable to cancel school in certain areas for these conditions, okay?

I'm sure if it ever hit 95 in Anchorage, we'd cancel EVERYTHING and be screaming in panic. But we'd eventually adapt. Probably not as quickly as people could learn that *all* you have to do is *slow down* when driving on snow/ice.

Canada would shut down for four months if this wasn't possible. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 10:43 4
- well, it would only be shut down for a week here. But it sounds like it would be 6 months in sask. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:46
- heh. I'm talking about the roads lined with parked cars, etc. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:44 2

    - well for one thing, I know that highways in Quebec are specifically built so skidding cars won't hit anything. - loosilu Jan 28, 10:48
