Re: Hope everyone is on their way home

I took some pictures (also sent to CKOM) found here -

The shots actually make it look nice outside in comparison.

My wife was up at microage on 51st today for training with her work,
and they were sent home at around 2pm. She made it three blocks to
her parents place in Silverwood before giving up. One of her
colleagues who left at the same time, was heading towards 8th &
McKercher took 3hrs to get down Warman->2nd and across the 25th St.
bridge.
