Reminds me of that one new years where I was all alone at home. I decided to watch The Fountain

Weather was clear that night...

Man the roads are slick as hell. That black ice.

AzNightmare 12-29-2016 08:58 PM

LMAO :lawl:
if we actually get 8 days straight of snow, whole city is gonna be fucked.

Why the hell are stores still constantly out of stock on salt?

HonestTea 12-29-2016 09:01 PM

When I left work today, we had 10 bags of the 5kg Black Diamond Organic Ice Melt. We'll see how many are left when I get in at 8 tomorrow.

Here is the source.

I actually like how Toronto sets standards and let the public know for when they plow in cms. Much better than ours "Oh it is coming" Granted Toronto is much larger.

My apologies my good man! I read your post and automatically thought you were talking about here.

Was at Walmart Burnaby and this one filipino dude with his wife and daughter load up 12 bags of salt in his cart

everyone's just staring at him and he goes "4 bags for 3 persons" :lawl:.

(they had a limit on 4 bags/customer)

godwin 12-30-2016 12:58 AM

Because Vancourites can't salt worth beans.

They take "be salt of the earth" literally by salting everything and everywhere.

For 3 years our gas station did not sell a bag of salt. When it started snowing this year it was gone in less than 2 days.

You don't buy a earthquake kit after there is an earthquake same goes for salt.

When I work at Wal mart sometimes I am a dick to these ppl. I would tell them is per customer meaning each person have to line up and pay separately. So I made each of these ppl line up again =D. Some would get embarrass and only buy the limit for one person, other would go back and line up again.
