So it seems that we have been hit by our first major snowfall. Personally I was trying to fly from Toronto to Montreal when it started. Not the best time to be flying i would say. So it looks like we got 30 + cm and it doesn't look like its going to end anytime soon. With the holiday season in full swing I don't think we could ask for a more pleasant setting.
Although this snow is nice to look at it is not always the best case scenario for us in the transport industry. Because of last weeks snow storms there have already been 3 snow slides in British-Columbia in the past 2 days. This is affecting some freight. Right now there are at least 24 hour delays in between Vancouver and Edmonton and again on another line between Vancouver and Lollooet BC.
With further high volumes of freezing rain expected the delays may become longer.
Hope this finds you well.
