as someone from Florida (USA) who has only ever seen snow once on a winter trip, literally every few months I learn something horrific about snow that makes it seem a little bit worse
Last months was that the salt that melts snow can essentially melt cars metal over enough time
Then it was that there's invisible 'black ice'
Now paint lines literally don't exist?! How do you exist over there? I'm literally dieing in like 50°F weather (10°C)
We get down to -50C (-58f) here, on a cold snap. Working outdoors sucks in that.
Even my pawns in Rimworld don't work outdoors during a cold snap. And i harvest them for organs and stuff.
what the fuck?????
Brrr.
A lot of shit breaks when it's that cold
The coldest in my memory was -42C, I remember getting into my boat of a Cadillac and the soft leather seats being as hard as concrete.
When it gets cold enough outside, it kind of hurts to breath because the cold air kind of stings the inside of your lungs.
Those are the best days to go outside when you can feel the brittleness of the air.
I loves me some crunchy air
Even during the summer the lines are usually faded away so even on good nights you can barely see them. And because of plows no reflectors like down south.
We gots sunken reflectors in BC. Some escape the scrape.

snow land is better than swamp land. try it out and stay a lifetime
Oh 10°C sounds so nice right now. Short answer is drive more cautiously, you can get undercoated for the salt issue and black ice is just hope and pray.
