My dad arrives today and hopefully I'll be able to fetch him from the airport without any snow type traffic nightmares! Having said that, the roads really aren't as bad as all that. For some reason school is closed again today - this whole place is at a standstill... and yet there's no good reason for it that I can see. It's not snowed anymore. The main roads are clear, with some icy packed snow on the residential streets which you can drive on if you take it easy... which is basically what the Americans don't do. Our neighbour was incredulous that we'd been out shopping and for lunch yesterday rather than being 'snowed in' and walking 2 miles to the local supermarket because the car couldn't possibly go out in it. Mind you, this is the same neighbour who insists that 0c is the same as 0f and that Seattle is far colder than Toronto ever could be.
