It's not a joke .... I drove on winter ice roads on James Bay for a few years about 15 - 20 years ago before they became well built ice roads they have now.
I remember driving on these roads in blinding snowstorms and losing the road entirely. The road up there mostly goes over frozen treeless swamps ... it's like driving through endless frozen lakes. There were also times where the road became so overfilled with drifting snow that it was better to go off the road and just drive the frozen wind packed open swamplands.
And that corridor on Highway 11 in Ontario between Huntsville, Orillia, Barrie is reminiscent of those winter ice roads if you ever up there during a blinding windy snow storm.
At what point do you just stay home and have a beer lol
