Well, to prove a point maybe...suddenly the island experienced some kind of snowstorm, mild and not wild. The snow is now 4 inches thick on the ground and maybe 5-10 inches thick in other parts of the Vancouver island. Unevenly.
The snowfall stopped last night and another new forecast looming that there will be a snow about to fall tomorrow. ? Really?
Of course it will be slippery on the roads and highways and hope that the civil servants or the grounds workers will plow the snow and scatter or sprinkler industrial salts on those streets, roads and highways to prevent slip, skid, and prevent motor accidents. It's Monday dude, so people are gonna go to work and students will have to go to school unless of course if their principal and teachers called "schools closed due to thick snow." Or have your schools' floors wet and students falling on the wet floor. The school's janitors would be very busy trying to mop the floors dry. Suddenly you think of robots doing the job. iRobot vacuums the carpet and another iRobot mopping the concrete floors.
If you have nothing important thing to do outside, just stay at home. I saw a small truck just on our street and the guy who drives the truck was on a zigzag route almost unable to control his truck. Slippery.
February 2019 is the winterest month of the year. Not long ago year 2017 when Vancouver island had experienced almost like a polar vortex winter condition in February. February is now recorded as the coldest of the month in the calendar year. The island being partly on the side of the Pacific ocean and when snow covered with thick blanket of snow consider that a miracle or a nuisance. Choose your limit: vertical or horizontal.
