Yes, yes, yes! Quoted for emphasis. I am amazed at how many people don't put their lights on in poor visibility. The tail lights are the key.

I've been watching the radar and it looks like this snow system will be past us in about 1-2 hours

I remember working at the Taco Time drive-thru window in Airdrie on August long weekend between grades 10 and 11, which would have been August 2002, and it was snowing.

Someone was creative at lunch downtown.

This is in the park by James Short Parkade.
If you're in the Transcanada building or the Suncor building, take a look outside a window.

I ran my first marathon on July 4, 1999 (Stampede Marathon) - it was -1 and snowing heavily.
