Imagine if the weather was always like this?
I’m from there, it uses to be and with more snow.
what captain canada said. i was only there four years… 15 years ago. it sucked. from like october to april. too much snow. dirty cold wind. hard to imagine its in ontario. but its on a snow belt. it’s like night and day between cities. there’s like a line where you get snow. and a lot of it. i think it’s like hwy 89 or 88. it’s been too long.
i do not miss living there when i went to college.
Where are you now?
Creepy 👆
I went to college there too….but I loved it! 🤷🏼‍♀️.
this is the coldest sounding video brrr
Close your eyes and pretend you’re listening to vinyl.
Nothing new on that highway weekly crack ups all year round too many idiots
Maybe spending some of those missing billions on infrastructure on infrastructure may help! ..
Every new “Canadian” moves to the GTA and are handed a drivers license it seems
@Kinik Ahau
Like snow melters ?
I’ve always wondered why it was called the snow belt.
Right?! Does it match my snow pants?
I drove it many of time in my 18 wheeler
That storm just passed me, I couldn’t see out my window at all and my door blew open lol
I liked your original title for this better:
“Regular Winter Day in Barrie, Ont”
Hope no one was seriously hurt. Yuck.
This is exactly why you keep your gas tank topped up as much as possible in the winter..
And why you freeze in an EV.
Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been forgetting to carry water etc.
I used to have to commute to Barrie for night shifts on the 400 during the winter.
So glad I don’t have to take those roads anymore.
there is a shelf life for that run in the winter for sure
Yep…been on that road many times…it really blows and you can get surprised really quick.
HWy 10 Orangeville was the same .
Key to survival+ Slow Down! Makes a Big Difference!
Naa never hit the brakes thats what causes them crashes..I ran through through 3 feet of snow out there at 75 miles an hour..In my 18 wheeler & uper state NY as well..
just drive slow enough to get throw thoughts conditions
Call in the WINDMILLS.
Oh wow, you’re way up there. We used to go thru Barrie ( from Michigan) on our way to the family cabin on Lake Shawanaga. Long drive!
I drove the opposite direction once…from Barrie Ontario to Detroit MI…why? My cousin had to fight a ticket.
He is a truck driver but barely speaks English so I had to go with him to translate. That Detroit courthouse was full of some odd characters, lol
I’ve been in a few of these whiteouts – not fun! I hope there were no serious injuries.
Disgraceful winter weather, as usual, and a big reason why I don’t live there and never will. Life is too short.
that why they have the flashing light signs and that HWY…
so glad I stop owning a car long time ago, so much time and money as well as personal safety saved no being on the road full of idiots, more so in the texting age
Obviously never used our local transit then
The trick is to follow behind a slowly moving car. If they fall in a ditch, well you know there’s a ditch there.
If this happened in Texas there would be a national emergency
