My project construction site outside of Houston is shut down Mon-Wed, it's currently -2C. But to be fair there is some nasty ass freezing rain. They were all pretty incredulous at the temperatures here in Calgary last week when I was talking to them.

the current price is $175. i bought this on black friday for: $109

since i've got a truck, i got this one for me: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
NOCO Boost X GBX45 1250A 12V
the current price is $186. i bought this on black friday for: $134

so wait until black friday!! i remember looking on boxing day and the prices didn't really drop at all. black friday for the win.

i have not needed to use mine yet but my wife has used hers to jump a friend who left their interior light on. it worked flawlessly. i believe she has also used hers to charge her phone when camping.

Yep, it works great for charging devices. The LED light is very bright and useful too.

Highways south of the city are in bad shape already and lots of cars in the ditch. Stay safe out there!

Looks like it's that patchy kind of snow where some parts of the city will get 5 cm, some will get 10, and Okotoks will get 20.

South end of town was a gong show. A few inches of snow, and everyone forgets how to drive. Probably didn't help that Glenmore Trail appeared to not have seen a snow plow since 8pm the previous evening. What a mess.

Calgary main streets are super slippery right now don't go anywhere. Even at 60 km/h the car felt squiggly.

If you guys think we've had it rough, wait until you see what's in store for Britain. Just downright rude..

I did take a picture of it, just haven't had time to figure out how to post it in here. The funny thing is that a co-worker told me about a guy he saw of the same description heading into the city from the mountains on the trans Canada on Wednesday of last week.

Go to imgur.com, drag the picture from your picture folder onto the middle of the window and it will automatically upload. Once uploaded right click on the image and select "open image in new tab" this should give you the .jpg URL of the picture. Reply to this thread, select the insert image icon (looks like a little landscape, 4 left of the youtube icon) and paste the image URL.
