The entire state of Alaska is 3/4 of a million. Toronto metro area is more than 6 million.
Well, the statement was "even moderate traffic will shred a highway" and the only highway is the Alcan (which is not driven so much in the winter) so urban roadways get driven a lot, 6 months of carbide studs daily (think Anchorage/Fairbanks) should be reduced to gravel by this time?
No question that carbide studs do damage roadways but not as much as you might think.

Morning

Mine was tipped over and a few feet away from where it stood. The jeep stopped it....

The power was flickering and actually fried a tv/monitor in the kitchen. I unplugged it and unscrewed it from the wall.....damn thing was smoking and probably would have started a fire :o Branches all over the yard and a few small trees down. I wonder what the drive into work will look like. I didn't sleep at all. Oh and it's snowing now :blsmoke:

How's everyone doing today?

The wind pulled a bunch of the stakes out holding our gazebo cover down... and they're 12" long!

My friends have a video of a trash can on Guam flying at 6' off the ground during a typhoon. Never saw it touch the ground before it went out of sight.
