Only in Canada.....

lol, okay, so after a week of 20+ C and loving the warm weather, windows down and car washing mother nature decided to f*** with us one more time (it better be the last time this year)

after a day of 14 C, i was leaving my cottage (Auroa area) and came out to see this.....

lol, it really sucked for me cuz i was in a golf shirt and was not prepared for winter driving (roads were slick and visability at some points was terrible)

these pictures were taken at about 11:30pm, my mom woke up this morning and said there was a good inch on the deck, half inch on grass and trace on the road.

here is the really messed up part, at my home (about an hour away drive doing average 80km/h) it was somewhat warm and they had not seen any snow or rain since about 8pm..... i'm sure northern ontario saw alot more snow.

hopefully more ppl will buy the yaris and this global warming will slow down, lol.

IT's not as serious as your in Waterloo, ON. But still, snow in May still not something that we hope for. Some time, I really wonder if our planet really f**ked up.

How can you not 'be prepared for winter driving'?

Have you never driven in winter before? do you need a refresher each time it snows?

lmfoa, yeah man, durring the winter i take an hour course everymorning before i leave in my car, doesn't matter how much snow or how far i am going. i have a video that played everymorning.......

LMFAO, naw but i was fairly tired and didn't really feel like dealing with winding roads that day in that weather. i knew i would make it (only took me an extra 10 mins) the people around me i think should have taken the refresher course. yes the roads were a bit slick but they were stopping like 5 feet back from the line at a stoplight. lol. i understand to slow down much sooner but not come to a COMPLETE STOP BEFORE URE CAR IS EVEN ON THE SENSOR! lol
