Last week, people here were having to crawl on their hands and knees to cross the roads. I couldn't even go out because there's nothing to hang on to to get down my steps. I've never seen it as icy as that in all my life.

sounds like here, last few weeks were -20C

at least we have salt trucks, not sure why you don't have them there?

this week is mild.

Basically because of penny pinching and lack of foresight. The street bins have been empty for years with only the odd exception in the better neighbourhoods. Even so, when we had the ice last week, even the salt trucks couldn't get out.

The salt spreaders were going out and spreading it by hand. The commuters sat in their cars behind them. :-5

I have tried chocolate beers and I can't say I like them. Which means you don't have to hide your double chocolate stout from me.
