Thank you for taking the opportunity to drive around and videotape this. I used to live in Wyoming and miss the long drive through the pass during winter, all the sounds of the wind and windshield wipers and the car, so It is so nice to be able to sit and listen to this. Thank you

Oh how I miss the East Coast. I was there for a month two years ago in the summer and just fell in love. Felt more like home than Ontario does. Be safe and thank you so much for sharing

I did all my ironing while you were driving. The windshield wipers sound kept me going and they were very meditating. Thank you!

Loved your video.....I was riding right there and didn't have to do the driving.....fantastic views and so relaxing....the wipers almost put me to sleep.

Incredible my friend. Thank you. Grretings from Greece

This is amazing friend... And your driving skill is amazing too.

Great video , thank you for no music no music and for the odd belch/burp now and again , made me laugh , I loved your reaction when the guy withthe mini digger was clearing snow and you gave him time to work away and he left a dump of snow in your path and your only comment was " thanks " . I would have used a few expletives. Lol . Thanks for an enjoyably relaxing video . You City looks beautiful by the way . Hello 👋 from Ireland 🇮🇪

Beautiful drive in the snow. I think I prefer to watch from a window while sitting in my recliner with a good book and a glass of cognac.

I know how fun this can be. I could break the trail of fresh snow with my jacked up FJ Cruiser for hours. It's quite thrilling. Stopped and helped people along the way as needed.

Yeah it snows about 50-120 inches of snow every winter but it isn’t normal to have this type of snowstorm. We get the fat snowflakes and breezy lake effect snow.

It's interesting how different the snow accumulation was just by going slightly inland, I live in the Hammonds Plains/ Tantallon region and we easily got over 80+ cm of snow, my car was nearly buried under a snow drift, I was called crazy when I willingly went out and drive to timmies in the storm we got back on Friday. But even this a little much for me, I hunkered and rode it out.

I've never been subjected to these conditions since then -> circa 1971. I wouldn't survive 5 minutes in those conditions now.

In Sweden, when there is a weather like this, everything goes on as usual. Of course some delays but with the larger streets full of cars in traffic, it's not easy keeping the surface in a good condition.

How is it driving up those steep hills in the winter time? Do people ever get stuck and not make it up?

@CptSchmidt

5 жыл бұрын

Lots of people get stuck, especially the buses because the city doesn't think it's necessary to install winter tires on them. If you have winter tires and use your senses, the odds of getting stuck or losing control are actually pretty low.

@savonnaestreet

5 жыл бұрын

CptSchmidt would you recommend a certain type of vehicle to make it easier or a certain type of tire?

@CptSchmidt

5 жыл бұрын

Really any kind of vehicle is okay if you're smart about it. Having winter tires makes a huge difference; you can get snow tires with different kinds of tread, and you can even get studded tires which are the best.Just drive whatever makes you the most comfortable. RWD vehicles generally perform poorly in snow and ice. AWD is good in snow and 4WD is better. There is a myth that a lot of people believe, and that's that you can carelessly drive trucks and SUVs in these conditions and not have to worry; it doesn't matter what you drive-without adjusting your driving for the conditions, the risk of a crash greatly amplifies.

An automatic car never rides the clutch, especially if it's a torque converter - there is no clutch to ride in there! Only manual or dual clutch or robotic gear boxes has one or two clutches.
