Blizzard!

If you live in Edmonton, you've probably noticed that the city never shuts down, even for a blizzard. I guess we don't get three feet of snow in a day like some places, but we're in the middle (or maybe the beginning) of the biggest blizzard in 18 years, and as far as I know most people are still at work or school today. (Although I admit I haven't been out of the house today.) The highways are bad and a lot of flights are canceled, but schools in the city aren't closing and people keep driving in the city. I'm sure traffic is moving slowly, and my brother's bus didn't come this morning, but a little once-in-18-years blizzard can't keep Edmontonians down. Can anyone remember a time when the city really did shut down?
