Bah, it&#x27;s not just the first snow storm.   They salt the roads so much in Ontario that people think they know how to drive in bad conditions but actually they just know how to drive in bad conditions on heavily salted roads.   If they hit a patch of unsalted road they get in trouble quite quickly.<p>In my experience Saskatoon fares a lot better.   They don&#x27;t salt as heavily because it&#x27;s often cold enough that salt doesn&#x27;t work as well, and because judges don&#x27;t blame the municipality for not salting when there&#x27;s an accident.
