I just came in and there is a lot of people that are slipping and sliding all over the place. Many vehicles are getting stuck, and I don't think the plows have been out that much, as of yet anyway. It is definitely one of those storms that if you don't need to be than don't and if you do you had better hope you have a good set of winter tires on. Good luck to everyone out there and drive safe!

Um yeah, two thumbs down to the absolute MORON who decided to double park on Duke St in the middle of the worst of the snowstorm, kitty-corner to a car that was illegally parked on the wrong side of the street and LEAVE his running car, causing me to have to weave extra carefully between them, I got stuck and had to BACK down the street, back to Pitt St. As if the uptown streets aren't already narrow enough by design and previous snow buildup, I have to contend with two cars parked side-by-side with a third car parked just behind them on the other side of the street. Guess I should count my blessings that I didn't slide into either one of them.

Not too bad if you take your time... I was just over west side and back.
The main streets are fair & mostly plowed, but intersections are real greasy.
Then to top it off with a couple hours of rain overnight on top of the snow, turns back to freezing tomorrow night will make for a nice sidewalk for Monday At least the kids will have a good snow layer for march break fun

Now that it's plowed somewhat, it's not so bad. I was coming home right during the worst part, before anything much was plowed.
It just really annoyed me that someone would be so thoughtless in the middle of an unplowed street, during a blizzard, to double park right across from an illegally parked car, then exit their vehicle so there is not even an option to ask the driver to move, and make an already narrowed, slippery street even more dangerous. I imagine the car that was parked on the wrong side was one that the owner had not moved since the 29th, probably forgot that it was the 1st and that parking switched sides last night.

Tomorrow should be messy.
Using my scientific gut feeling I am actually going to call this storm a dud and probably won't be that bad. Remember, it's scientific!

An extended period of freezing rain on Wednesday.
On Wednesday a warm frontal trough associated with an area of low pressure approaching the Maritimes will spread a mixed bag of precipitation across New Brunswick. Initially snow will develop well ahead of the front overnight tonight in the south reaching northern areas Wednesday morning. The snow will change to freezing rain and ice pellets from south to north..And eventually to rain during the day Wednesday across the southern half of the province. The extreme northwest will see a combination of snow and ice pellets where up to 15 centimetres of accumulation is anticipated. 4 to 6 hours of freezing rain is expected within the warning zone which could make roadways..Especially side streets..Slippery. Motorists are urged to exercise caution.

Very slippery tonight!
Watch it, cars everywhere are going 20-30 km/h, it is bad in spots. I slid a LOT coming from east to uptown. I came within inches of sliding into a parked car again, and I was going less than 20 at the time.
