I agree with the people part, but as for being prepared for snow, up island we are and have effective snow removal plans in place, that are actually quite good.
We also have alot of people from other parts of Canada who seem to think that because they lived through snow in Ont or Sask they can drive like they did back home when it snowed.
The fact is, that the snow here isn't the powder they're used to, it's heavy wet and extremely slippery which makes driving in it totally different than anwhere else in Canada.
Unfortunately it usually takes a couple of accidents for these types of people (locals also) to figure this out.
Sounds like the kids of snow we usually get here. Freaking nightmare when it happens. Every redneck in a 4x4 thinks they are invencable. They are usually the ones first in the ditch.
My wife is from Sask and she was quite surprised in the difference in the driving conditions down here in the snow.
You know,even with comments like that it's still the rednecks like me in our big 4x4's who will pull you out of the ditch when you go in. I live in 4x4 country and very rarely do I see anything but cars in the ditch.
I also have a scanner and get info on any crash within 500 miles each way of me on the #3 so I know how wrong your statement is.
