140kph down the highway [posted speed was 80kph] with a foot and a half of
snow cover since the plows couldn't get out to clear the roads.

Do you need a special tool to pile it on that thick?

No Man... nature dropped 3 feet of snow on us that day. Great stuff! I had
to go to Maplewood to pick up my smoked bacon in Sweetland then drive to my
buddy's farm in Maplewood. There were no plows off exit 11 and only one plow
on the 103.... and my S15 4x4 GMC was nicely loaded with about 400lbs of
concrete cylinders for added traction. Nobody was out driving.... except a
couple of snowmobiles and a quad. I was doing 140kph down the
straightaways... I did slow down for the turns... 4 wheel drifts around some
of those bends was awesome!

Think about it Marty... I've lived in the north for over 20 years.... do
you really think I haven't driven that fast in much worse conditions? But
what the heck... you're from Ontario.... you idiots slow to 60kph on a
superhighway at the first sign of a flake of snow dropping! You guys called
out the Armed Forces to assist in a frickin' snowstorm... you pussies!

Give it a rest, you're not even a Canadian, there's no way you're going to push an S15 through half a metre of snow at 140. The speedo might of read
140, but tire spin doesn't count. The only idiot who called out the army was the jerk from TO, (the center of the universe according to anyone from
the GTA), Mel Lastman. I almost miss him, he did have a way with words, a bad way, but always good for a laugh.

Save the BS for a more private forum, we Canadians do cope with some impressive conditions, but there is no need to embelish.
