Motorists are encouraged to avoid driving on roads that are closed

I saw that scroll by at the Ontario 511 website when I was checking out road conditions. The condition of roads across Grey and Bruce counties at this moment is they’re all officially closed. Apparently that doesn’t prevent folks from driving on closed roads. Hence the pleading title. We’re about 24 hours into the Christmas Blizzard of ’22. Cops are out on snowmobiles ferrying supplies to stranded motorists. How about you ferry them to the clink and tow their cars to the impound lot instead. Maybe that would impress on these folks that closed means stay off. Seems like we’re rewarding foolish behavior. We didn’t see any traffic go by here till mid=afternoon, when a three car convoy crawled by with their four-way flashers on. The storm has changed a lot of holiday plans, but what can you do? We lost power for four hours today, and then you can do even less. I pulled a chair to the window and spent the afternoon watching the storm. It’s just like a live webcam, but it’s for real!
