haha no natural gas for my house, all wood we split our own, and our hot water is from oil (most likely middle east to the best o f my knowledge)
Actually, your oil is from the Alberta Oilsands I do believe. I could be wrong. Now then, trees reduce Greenhouse gases, why are you kiling them?? You should use nice clean burning natural gas haha
im 3 hours west of edmonton we are right behind the mountains so we don't get much snow, but it's been actually warm tonight 5 degrees c! crazy warm for this time of the year. I did used to live in Mackenzie Bc at on point but thats a long time ago.

hahahahaha no killing trees, what kind of tree hugging hippie do you think i am ?
lol no we have been lucky so far and taken trees that come down on their own, or that someone else took down to build a new house (that was an EASY year to get wood for )

Haha I work at a sawmill, so we never kill trees lol. We heat our house with wood as well, anything with a nail in it we don't saw, so we cut it up and bring her on home for heat.
I am 6 and a half hours Northwest of Edmonton. I had a 1987 GMC S15 with Goodyear Nordics on and they took to the icy mountain passes quite well. With 6 30KG sandbags over the axle.
Icy Mountain passes my *** that part of the country is flat, there are mountians to the west Feller Hights area, even Dawson Creek is flat prairie like. There are hills when you drop into a river valley. You all get alot of icey roads. I grew up in Cassiar BC, on the BC Yukon border, this is where I learnt to drive. Big mountains and lots of snow. They didn't plow are roads they had a grader come into town from the mine and plow and groove the road. The roads were alot smother in th ewinter then in the summer.
Learnt a trick, go to the local big rig tire shop ask for there old blown tubes. Take a bunch they are free. Cut the end off and use a zip tye to close one end, fill it with sand and tie the other end up. Make 2 or 3 of these. they last for years don't move around in the bed.
Good tires are a must, but that will not always save you.
Air down. Air down. drop your PSI to incease traction. I carry a little electric pump to air up when I hit bare road.
Purchase an army suplus or similar folding shovel to keep on board.
In the worst case you have to dig yourself out. One of the sand bags can be opened and the contents used as a traction device.

I am talking about driving through the Pine Pass man. From Dawson to Chetwynd then to Prince George is killer in the winter. Worse than the Salmo-Creston Pass.
