OT: 2024 Weather Thread

[Fourier]

Just flew in to Edmonton today through Calgary. With this much snow in Waterloo the main roads would be plowed clean within a couple of hours and backstreets by the morning. I had forgotten how adverse to plowing the City of Edmonton really is.

Just had a teenager show up at my door offering to shovel my walk. He was wearing shorts and running shoes. There’s something terribly wrong with the youth lol. Also massive parenting fail.

On the other hand you have to applaud his willingness to do the work. In my neighborhood you never see kids shoveling snow. EVER.

If you feel like this now, you are in for a long winter haha

I know.

Ok I'm done now. Did six rounds and the driveway is clear as can be.

In regards to that teenager. I find kids care way less and have no pride in appearance these days

You got that mop haircut that's popular that just hangs down over their face for guys

I see sooo many kids wearing sandals, pajamas, and sweatshirts out and about

Its about the same effort they put into their school work

To a degree
When I told him I had no cash he turned around and walked away, not that I would expect him to have done it for free.

The kid did the right thing. No snow shoveling job on credit I say.

Most definitely! Nothing is for free. Personally I wouldn’t pay anyone to shovel my walk. I got gas toys for that!!!

This is something said about every new generation by the previous generation since the beginning of time.

Up to 14 days they take to clean off all roads. Clock reset if it snows again. This is their standard designed to mean they never or rarely get to some roads. Of course bike lanes here in the hinterland are somehow a number 1 clearing priority. You wouldn't miss living here. We get worse services in exchange for more property tax.

Isn’t Waterloo like a village compared to Edmonton?
