So the city got hit with what could be termed as a perfect storm.
- * The bus drivers went on strike last night stopping our transit system cold.
* A winter storm hit the city yesterday. Snow and freezing rain have blanketed the city. We have got at least 20 cm according to Environment Canada, but according to the radio we have gotten 34 cm. That is about a foot of snow.
* Because of the storm, school buses have been cancelled, but the schools are open. So if you need childcare, you have to drive your kids to school.
* One of the main comuter bridges has been reduced to two lanes due to some structural issues.
* Certain postal workers are on strike as well and given that the places they are picketing are on major intersections, traffic gets slowed even more.
Yeah – so apparently the commute is a bit of a hassle. The husband unit has arranged a carpool, but given the delays, the ride has yet to appear.
Be happy you are not here.
