Stuck or abandoned vehicles
Who is dodging stuck or abandoned vehicles in their neighbourhoods?
From my back window I can see 3 abandoned vehicles so who knows how I am going to get out of my parking area. Then it remains to be seen if I can even get into the shop yard at work. |
I was supposed to take 200 grade nine kids to Calgary today. Sure glad we mad the call to cancel yesterday!

Stuck vehicles everywhere. Drove out to Foothills Industrial at 4 a.m. and there are semi's stuck on the turnoffs due to drifts. I have a 4X4 and it was barely making it down any East - West street due to drifts. I called my workers and told them to stay home.

Neighbour and I just pushed a van out the snow drifts..you could see the drifts down the road but he still decided to try...Good Grief:)
|
Its nasty down south too. Be safe out there
|
Definitely will avoid the big city. But, I have to visit a compressor site near Cochrane. My plan is to go thru Black Diamond, out to the 22x and on through Bragg Creek. Does anyone know of the conditions out that way?

Was trying to leave at 615, neighbor across the street stuck, get him out go around the corner two cars stuck, got email from work saying stay at home pushed the other guys back in their driveway, and turned around went home...

I can't even get out of my neighborhood. Got stuck before I made one block. So trapped in for another day. Good luck to those in small cars.

Anyone know what Stettler is like? How about #12 from the Sask border to Stettler?

Hwy 2 Airdrie to downtown commute was not bad today, actually made really good time...
Getting out of my neighborhood was the sketchy bit... In a tall truck with new all-terrains. Do not recommend leaving in a small car! Lots of cars stuck in snow drifts in town and in the ditches. But the hwy is not tooooo bad right now. The fellas did a hell of a good job in the plows and sanders last night! |
Well got around the 5 fools in my complex.
Around 2 more stuck on My main road at 52nd st Made it around the 10 others on 52nd. Got down 94th around a semi and 2 others......... Got to the shop there is 4-5 foot high drifts........ Parked on the road and stinky and I hoofed it into the shop. 10 of us made it to work out of 40 staff. Had a customer sitting in my office waiting for my CEO. Got stuff done for client and saw him walk back to road........ Stinky is running my parts department....... or is he playing on the computer?:sHa_shakeshout: Either way I have time to get paperwork done....... will be leaving after lunch..... early. Hearing the tow truck waiting list is 24-36 hours long in Calgary.... So hope you dont get stuck. p.s. ........ I dont have snow tires....... but I drive an old heavy car! |

I came out from my place in my car. I left the truck for the wife. It took me about 5 minutes to get to the end of the block and then it was good from 130th and 52nd right to work at the Shepard Energy Center. About 15 minutes after I left the house, the wife messaged me saying she was told to stay home today.
|
I'm sick today so my wife took the truck after she got stuck (got her back in) backing out of the garage in her 2wd suv. Good thing too as she said there was no way she would be getting out without the truck...

Push out list:molly maid ×1
Volvo estate ×1 Honda civic ×1 Big dodge ×1 lost a fight with a good drift. Always willing to help.:) |
Listening to the radio on the drive in and they said there as a "tow ban" on, no towtrucks allowed on the roads and if you are stuck expect to be there a long long time. TOW BAN after a blizzard, when tow trucks are most needed????? I don't get it.

Just because I dont drive a new fancy car, doesnt mean I dont know how to drive. Maybe people should learn to drive. |

No one cares about the age of the car. WINTER TIRES!!!!! For the past two days the city of Calgary and the CPS have been hounding everyone, even WITH proper tires, to stay off the roads. But you decide that just because you have a big, heavy car, it's safe to travel these conditions with poor tires? You were lucky. |

Pretty sure I'd be stuck at the end of my driveway if I attempted to drive into the street. Drive way had no snow, but there's a 2.5' drift in the street at the end of my drive way. Sigh. Not sure if our small town crew will plow the street or if I'll need to buck up and shovel the 10' long x 2.5' deep x 4' wide drift... Don't really feel like busting through it with our AWD SUV.... Gonna have to make that decision pretty soon though, haha.
