Oh this is nasty!

This is a shot of traffic, backed up as it approaches the lights at Vance Road on Highway 16 westbound.  The hill was too slippery for  semis to   make the grade, some pulled over to chain up, but the three trucks can’t move anywhere.

Peden Hill is too slippery to  head westbound, and  very slippery heading in to the City, so the Hill is now closed.

Police have put a call in  to YRB to get to the scene ASAP to try and clear and sand the hill.

Meantime... another problem on Carney between Massey and 15th.  It too is slippery.  Traffic can’t make the grade.

Police now say if  you don’t have to be on the roads,  stay  home.

This story saved me a world of hurt tonight: thank you opinion250!

The Citizen and Free Press don't update thier skimpy websites; no one is home at the radio stations; TV has already taped their late broadcast.

I guess the only place to get the important breaking local news is here.

Shame on our mainstream media.

As for the provincial, national and international news, why would I get it from the local fishwrap? Google and Yahoo! News, NY Times online, BBC, etc. give it to me faster and better, not to mention the bloggers doing their part in niche areas.
