Winter Wonderland Grid Lock
The first snowstorm of the season only proved that many drivers in this burg act totally recklessly in a storm because they don’t have any sense or patience to wait like the rest of us. Oh, no, they were in too much of a hurry to be sitting in gridlock

Amen to that.
A little bit of snow and the whole world has to come to an end. I was enjoying a few beers at my local and when I came out (4:30) it was pretty much a white out. I took the ferry to Dartmouth and walked to Cole Harbour. I was home in time for Coronation Street. Get off the fucking bus and walk already that’s why God gave you legs and a beating heart.
The first snow storm of the season always produces this result. People act like they just had a fucking lobotomy. Nobody remembers how to drive in the snow. I could not believe the inconsideration of people during that storm! Blocking traffic just so you can move a couple of feet forward…where in the fuck do you think you were going! Nowhere! And to that bitch in the black shitbox of a car that blocked me turning left at Poplar and Quinpool…the next time I see your disgusting, troll face I guarantee I will take the time to personally get out of my car and slap that stupid look off your face; oh, and when I called you a whore…I meant it.
Anyone with summer tires on their car in December got what they deserved in that storm. I think the smartest group of people either A.) Parked their cars and walked home, or B.) decided to make the best of it, parked, and went for dinner to wait out the gridlock. I ended up walking home since busses were nowhere to be seen, and while it was not an easy walk for someone with asthma, at least I got home before most others!
