You can bypass all the mess in Edmonton, this is a town of a million plus, lots of traffic. Take a left before you get to Edmonton International and follow this route.

If that's all the snow you see, then don't worry, as long as there is other traffic, the roads will only be wet. That's all, just wet, that really isn't any snow.

Mr. Bob, have you been in the casino...have you been in the bar....see you in Canada tomorrow...Happy trails, Mr. B, yes indeed...

It is a nice house for sure, not sure about townhouse aspect...Mr. Bob...check the market, finances, see if worthwhile investment...remember things cost more there on island...cannot drive ...okay....

My buddy just called from Lake Side Montana. Said they got 8 inches of snow last night and it's still snowing! And 3 or 4 days ago it was 70 degrees! This morning he had 27 above...and it was 28 above here in Kuparuk!

Bob...you might consider swinging by a Walmart and buying a set of tire chains or cables in case you run into any more snow storms going up through Canada and Alaska. The cables are relatively cheap. And get yourself some gloves and a warm hat if you don't already have some.

Wow.

That's entirely uncalled-for.

I have been in ice-storms in July in northern WI and in the CO Rockies, so it is not inconceivable that such a thing may happen so much further north. However, in WI and CO, it is not common.. though it may be so while heading through northern Canadian Rockies.
