Good point. Should have said the ice is fine. None here yet but it was damp and chilly today. My hands have ached for the first time since I arrived.
Just a little reminder … Take it easy…
That 2nd pic was on the TransCanada 17 in Ontario last year I think. There are regular crashes out there as the road is single carriageway with a 90 km limit. The 11 is worse. Lots of nutters use that one.
Nasty, but a part of life wherever you are. When the snow starts flying I’ll get pics of it.
To all those who worry about driving in snow, it’s so dry and powdery here that it’s no big deal.
The Reimer trucks are from Winnipeg.
The drivers side looks OK. What voltage sytsem are they running on…? 6 or 12…?
12 volt, 4 batteries in parralel. Makes life a lot easier for buying bulbs and lights and stuff.
The bloody things will still freeze in winter, though.
Do they have fuses or contact breakers,Bob…?
“The bloody things will still freeze in winter, though.”
Theold Swiss wagons & busses overcame that problem. The starter was an air compressor which turned the engine over . But if the air was low it was best you were parked near an airline…

Just like my 60s Mack then. Empty air tanks no problem though, carried an
airline at all times and just connected tank to tyre. As soon as the tank is full,
start the engine and leave the line on long enough to pump the tyre back up.
Best system in the world, can’t understand why it isn’t universal. 
BTW that ice scraping vid is just the funniest, isn’t it?
Swiss busses still use that system in cities. When they stop at lights the engine automatically shuts down. When the driver touches the accelerator the air kicks in and the buss moves forward & starts at the same time. Just like an electric motor…
