Surely this is no issue at all, because everyone will reduce their speed, increase safety distances, drive more carefully and when in doubt, yield to others, right?
I prefer the spinoff, “Whose parking spot is it anyway?”
Lunchtime when it melts it just looks like they showed up to work drunk
“I’m pretty sure I’m still on the road.”
still feels like road, can’t be that off
Start seeing polar bears and igloos, you get blocked by a herd of caribou.
Sign points to the turnoff to Rovaniemi.
Lanes are a social construct
Now that I think about it, so are roads
Rouds have material manifestations. The ground is different so driving there makes a difference. But historically, streets were the empty space between houses until the car industry lobbied to get the pedestrians out of the way.
You stop for a pee break on the side of the highway, walk ten feet away from your car and now you can’t find it
I haven’t laughed this hard all day… thank you!
Find warm squishy place to rest.
In 15 minutes, you’ll feel comfy everywhere. Just lay down and have a nap under the warm white blanket, friend!
Oh, you mean drifting powder?
(I unironically love driving on snow or even ice - hate it that lives are in danger because of it, we can have better infrastructure)
My first date with my spouse was like that. I got to show off my impressive drifting skillz.
“Baby it’s cold outside… And I laugh at snow so let me know when you want a ride back.”
That’s not a highway … that’s a wheat field in Saskatchewan.
why not both?
It’s not a joke … I drove on winter ice roads on James Bay for a few years about 15 - 20 years ago before they became well built ice roads they have now.
I remember driving on these roads in blinding snowstorms and losing the road entirely. The road up there mostly goes over frozen treeless swamps … it’s like driving through endless frozen lakes. There were also times where the road became so overfilled with drifting snow that it was better to go off the road and just drive the frozen wind packed open swamplands.
And that corridor on Highway 11 in Ontario between Huntsville, Orillia, Barrie is reminiscent of those winter ice roads if you ever up there during a blinding windy snow storm.
At what point do you just stay home and have a beer lol
Between Dec 1 and April 1
Here in Alberta the Hiways have ribs in the centre and ether side. You can drive in your lane by “feel” even when covered in snow.
In India, the lines are just Grafitti and don’t really mean anything.
It usually denotes the minimum number of lanes you should be driving in.
Only white raillanes matter.
Viva la railvolucion!
(and those don’t need plowing to quite some extend)Just make sure your switches are heated. In the arctic, they build little houses around their switches to keep it from getting completely snowed up

Here’s some pictures of their snow sweepers too
I stay the fuck home when this shit goes down. Its just not worth it!
and the plows
don’t bothercan’t catch upWe play this game in South Africa too. Not because it snows, but because the lines don’t get repainted soon enough even if they’re completely faded. And instead of snow ploughs, we have taxis (the minibus versions) that just drive wherever and however they want.
