How Canadians Measure Bad Weather

[bcholmes]

From the National Post:

Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island declared a state of emergency after the East Coast's worst winter storm in two decades dropped up to 70cm of snow. It was so bad, snowploughs became stuck, police refused to patrol the roads and some Tim Hortons outlets shut their doors.

Yes but hey if you are hired by a Tims, you can get any job anywhere. If you can ever get out of the job that is, its like the Mafia, you sign up for life.

Seriously, there are a lot of smalltown places which surprisngly enough look at Tim Hortons and YES we are talking a freaking Coffee shop here, as a community place like Moms Diner or something. People have come to look to Tims (and they have advertised it as such) as a place which supports the snowplough drivers, and the like from the cold, ie the people who support everyone else...

From Hockey Player To Coffee Chain Restaraunteur To Almost Public Utility. Thats the evolution of the words 'Tim Horton' to canadians. Which reminds me I have to go by there and get some timbits... craving them as of late.
