Must have been quite the party......
And I used to live in Fort McMurray and the crew up there did an amazing job. The city was obviously alot smaller then Edmonton/Calgary so it could be easily maintained but they did a 10/10 job. Living in Edmonton for the past 4 years or so, I can say Edmonton crews do a 8.5/10 job. They are out there after big snow falls but at the same time on a day like today, the road conditions were horrible around the city. I saw alot of cars slip and slide. They do a good job, but could be a little better. As for Calgary, i'm there alot in the winter (about 8 trips) and it's pretty much like Edmonton on that regard. They do a good job for the most part but it could be better (however as someone mentioned it might be unrealistic to clear everything right away).
