Today was fun. It all started yesterday with a major snow storm (at times dumping 10cm per hour). Massive traffic issues all over.
Luckily as I was attempting to clear my driveway yesterday morning, had a call from work to say transportation, meals on wheels, food bank were all cancelled for the day and it became a day off work. Just as well as the road in my town house complex was impassable.
Later yesterday, my wife and I finished the snow clearing, and by this time the road in the complex had been cleared. Well over a foot of snow had fallen!
Today started out well. I thought I should get into work earlier than usual to dig out the work vehicles. Opened the garage door, got into my car and .... it doesn't start! Sounds like the engine isn't getting fuel. Try a few more times, and just in case, grab my booster pack and try a boost Just In Case. No go
Call for an Uber; see it's surge pricing but know I have no choice. Told the driver will be there in 15 minutes, message the driver to confirm unit # for pickup. Message back to meet him on a main street! I live on the corner of two main streets so tell him where I'll be
Hobble out to the street and ... I see him head on by. Luckily I wave my arms, he sees me and stops just a twenty feet away.
Get to the office and... Vehicles are badly snowed in. Work with colleagues and get a few vehicles out
I grabbed a 4wd Ford Transit mini bus and it was great. Luckily one client trip I was dreading got cancelled; one of the technicians he was meant to see couldn't make it in. (He's a visually impaired client going to a heart specialist in the other end of the city, with limited parking at the best of times, and I knew I'd have to escort him to and from the appointment).
I must have passed 30 city buses stranded by the side of the road; encased by piles of snow piled up by plows.
End of day, I've grabbed a minivan and brought it home. If I feel upto it I will call the Automobile Association tonight and see if they can figure out the issue.
