Hard to believe that mainland Vancouver area is running out of salt. Only this year that problem exists! Nobody complains about it until yesterday.
It's not about table salt that is out of demand but the industrial salt or rock salt used for the icy ground. Well, that product industrial salt is very in demand now and the public wants to have their own bucket of salt so that they can sprinkle on their yard. On the surface of the ground!!!!!
Why not? It's slippery on the yard, backyard and on the sidewalk. You don't want to wait for somebody to do it for you when you get out of the house. Besides, how many government workers doing the sprinkle of rock salt on the roads and highways? Probably there are workers and volunteers doing such salting of the ground but look at what happened? No more salt!
My husband has only 2-3 small bags of industrial salt for salting the ground and how long those bags will last when the weather forecaster on TV announced that it will snow again tomorrow.
Now what? Stay at your home when it snows. It's better to be safe than sorry. Tomorrow is Friday and if the snowfall is heavier than expected all schools should be closed in Vancouver. It's only snow and you should close the school? This is to prevent accident. Have you seen those vehicles spinning uncontrollably on icy roads and highways? How many are victims of broken bones on arms, legs, knees and hips? We don't want you at the emergency rooms and hospital orthopaedic wards (well, better take care of yourself) Don't fall! Protect yourself.
Most of all the Schools should caution the students and their parents early before it's too late. Prevent parents from suing their schools because of negligence. That's all, be safe. Prevention is better than cure.
Three days without mails from post office. We're waiting for important cheques that never come. Hm, wonder, wonder why.
