Well the Chinese government has been creating dossiers on everyone, mostly using means like this.

Well they are not Chinese owned though and thus beholden to the Chinese government.

It is worth noting that the last time we had a warning like this we got about 2 mm of ice.

There is no indication today that this will be anywhere nearly as serious as the 1998 ice storm was.

LOL, you don't ice fish on what is clearly an open body of water, with one little ice shelf at the edge!
No, in Canada, SAR is always provided free of charge, even to idiots. If we charged for it the stack of dead bodies each year would be astronomical as people would not call for help.

A quick look at the #Ottawa Traffic Cone Festival today.
Remember the #conefest motto: "traffic cones for no reason at all!!"
This may be of interest to @pylonograph.bsky.social
I ❤️ #conefest!!

"9:53 AM EDT Tuesday 10 March 2026
Impact Level: High
Forecast Confidence: High
Significant freezing rain event expected Wednesday.
What:
Prolonged period of freezing rain. Possibly up to 24 hours for some areas.
Ice accretion or build up of 10 to 20 mm.
When:
Beginning tonight or early Wednesday morning and lasting through Wednesday or Wednesday night.
Additional information:
A series of low pressure systems will lead to significant freezing rain across parts of southern Ontario. Freezing rain may fall heavily at times. In this case, the precipitation may not freeze immediately, which may lead to localized flooding in low lying areas.
Some areas across eastern Ontario closer to the St. Lawrence River may rise above the freezing mark Wednesday afternoon, which would lessen the amount of ice build up in these areas.
Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Prolonged utility outages are likely. Significant damage to property, including some buildings and trees, is likely due to the weight of ice.
Be very careful if walking or driving. Stay away from fallen power lines."
You can note it has now been upgraded from a special weather statement to an orange-level warning:

Thanks for writing this. It is at least good to know that you understand the issues, even if instant solutions are hard to find and implement. It is going to take time, vision and an understanding that all modes of transport are going to play a role in solving this.
