I did all my ironing while you were driving. The windshield wipers sound kept me going and they were very meditating. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the opportunity to drive around and videotape this. I used to live in Wyoming and miss the long drive through the pass during winter, all the sounds of the wind and windshield wipers and the car, so It is so nice to be able to sit and listen to this. Thank you
Oh how I miss the East Coast. I was there for a month two years ago in the summer and just fell in love. Felt more like home than Ontario does. Be safe and thank you so much for sharing
Come back soon, Patricia :) And thanks for watching!
Incredible my friend. Thank you. Grretings from Greece
Loved your video. It was like riding with you and seeing a place I had never been to before. I am in Florida, and the snow looks wonderful to me. I would love to see now again! lol. Thank you for sharing ! :)
Thanks :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I live in Sunny Cape Town, no snow ever, luv you r vid, now I can say I was driving in the snow ;)
Loved your video.....I was riding right there and didn't have to do the driving.....fantastic views and so relaxing....the wipers almost put me to sleep.
ohhh wow
I am downloading your video so I can watch it later
in the warmth of my easy chair and with a Steam Whistle
be safe
reminds me of a tune form 'Annie get your Gun'
'There's snow business like snow business'
but maybe Annie should get her shovel - LOL
scary in parts my friend but well driven
be safe
LOL Thanks very much and, if you can believe it, we have another 15-20cm on the way tonight and tomorrow!
yup saw it on the CTV news this evening
isnt this the second or 3rd year in a row for snow-capades
stay safe
CptSchmidt Really great video!! Was everything pretty much closed up? Cheers from Bloomington, IN US! Nova Scotia is on my retirement travel itinerary.
Yep, everything was closed. Even the buses were off the roads for two days. When I got stuck just after 1:03:10, I was trying to get into the 24/7 Burger King, which turned out to be closed lol
Relaxing in what is treacherous weather. Thanks. Enjoyed view of town.
This is amazing friend... And your driving skill is amazing too.
i love your video.. im a new immigrant in NS.. me & my family arrived last july & i LOVE it here! its going to be our first time to experience snow..
Welcome :)
I hope you and your family love it here!
Woo halifax! Oxford street forever in my heart 5:59
Great video , thank you for no music no music and for the odd belch/burp now and again , made me laugh , I loved your reaction when the guy withthe mini digger was clearing snow and you gave him time to work away and he left a dump of snow in your path and your only comment was " thanks " . I would have used a few expletives. Lol . Thanks for an enjoyably relaxing video . You City looks beautiful by the way . Hello 👋 from Ireland 🇮🇪
Haha thanks. I should have edited those burps out. I was taking cod liver oil pills at the time and they made me extremely gassy. Very embarrassing!
LOL @ 00:50 Street sign reads south park, and Kenny crosses right in front of you!!
I know how fun this can be. I could break the trail of fresh snow with my jacked up FJ Cruiser for hours. It's quite thrilling. Stopped and helped people along the way as needed.
Beautiful drive in the snow. I think I prefer to watch from a window while sitting in my recliner with a good book and a glass of cognac.
Welcome to Canadian Weather. We get this Weather all the Time During Winter.
good vid, if we had snow like that in Seattle every thing would be at a stand still
The snow in Halifax looks a lot dryer then what we get in Vancouver bc and Seattle, as you know when it snows in our 2 cities it starts as rain a lot of times then the roads freeze up and we get the heavy wet snow ,
U made me feel as I'm driving the whole way ..it's breath taking
Love t see all time because here in Pakistan I suffered in summer even 54 degree
Memories are too worst that I can enjoy this drive even in winter with-2
Strange that none of the buildings had one light on yet the traffic lights appeared to all be working perfectly. Great video. I wouldn't mind going through a winter there providing that I would never have to leave my dwelling - I bet the sleeping is great!
Here i am in florida and all we ever get is stupid rain lol good video i really wish i lived in a place where it snowed.
Until you had to dig yourself out and freeze your arse off in the process…. I'll trade you… :)
Ms40Watts you sissy lol!!! We live in places that we know get cold and snowy. Why bitch? LOL that’s like complaining about the heat when you live in Phoenix
Homicidal snow is not horrible. Tis the season. Just like Spring flowers and fall colors. It’s just another pretty season. In Michigan it’s not as bad as this. Yeah it snows about 50-120 inches of snow every winter but it isn’t normal to have this type of snowstorm. We get the fat snowflakes and breezy lake effect snow. Less treacherous lol (this is a blizzard)
Hi like and day today happy are the to up for can me you is ok my You your can ok my can day today of ok like of yes you can me were the 🇨🇦 we the there you is into
2:12 - Summer street. LOL.
I saw & thought that same thing.
PLEASE UPLOAD MORE, I just love to watch this snow blizzard videos, but there no videos on you channel for 3 years now, please please upload
Atmospheric video!
It's interesting how different the snow accumulation was just by going slightly inland, I live in the Hammonds Plains/ Tantallon region and we easily got over 80+ cm of snow, my car was nearly buried under a snow drift, I was called crazy when I willingly went out and drive to timmies in the storm we got back on Friday. But even this a little much for me, I hunkered and rode it out.
Fall River as well, although , if this is Monday AM , it was before the worst of the snowfall.
Yeah, this was maybe a third or a quarter of what we got in total. I went out just a little after noon. I like driving in the snow :)
I don't blame you for that, I'm the same here, there is an odd tranquility to driving on the back roads out where I live when it snows, kind of puts you in a relaxed state if you will. Kind of the same feeling when driving in rain during the summer.
I was out in this too! Had to check out Lawrencetown, it was pretty epic. Lots of whiteout conditions though!
I thought about taking a drive into Dartmouth. I wish I'd gone out to Lawrencetown!
CptSchmidt It was pretty awesome. I'll get my buddy to send me his footage of the waves! All the snow is packed into the truck today though :( I'll probably be back out for another drive tomorrow too!
Tomorrow is Thanks Giving 2018 and it is doing the same thing right now here in Vermont. Sure is pretty though. :)
Thanks for posting I enjoy the "no drama"
Interesting as I live in Halifax in the U.K. We used to have winters like this, but not anymore. It just rains !
Thanks for pointing out everyone that didn't have a "sick" day.....
I really love your video. Very brave. Thanks for sharing.
And this is a perfect example of why SAE Level 5 (fully autonomous driving) is waaaaaay in the future. I'm not sure even ten years is enough for that (and for the main stream people, definitely more than ten years).
Oh thy winter classic sound: "squig" "squigck" and sometimes "squickkrrr"
Nobel prize to the one who can create wipers that work perfectly in ALL weather!
Lol
I wish we had such a weather too! In Germany we have been 35-40C° for weeks now !! :/
Aber doch nicht im Winter... :D
I know this is Halifax, but after living in Washington, DC for 17 years, this looks a lot like DC!
this video is so relaxing love it
I miss snow! I’m in S. Texas. But I am from Missouri. Most of life
Omg what snow. Glad u made this video
Thanks, Sandra.
Can u make more video like this. ? Stay safe
I will make more as soon as we get some snow :)
If you like snow videos, then here's an old one from my hometown :
th-cam.com/video/GeAb-zxdKpM/w-d-xo.html
thank u
It was insane! 70cm is a little much
It's close to a 100 degree outside and I am watching a blizzard...lol..
"Cool" video - good job !
Sheesh, How can people live in these conditions? I use to live in Northern Ontario in conditions much like this (all the time) until I reached 17 years old and scrammed out of there westbound all the way to the Pacific Ocean at warp 9 and never ever looked back. I've never been subjected to these conditions since then -> circa 1971. I wouldn't survive 5 minutes in those conditions now. Downtown Westend Vancouver NEVER gets anything like this... thank heavens. *Burrrrrrr shivers shakes*
Uma grande aventura dirigir nestas condições.
Brasil, Curitiba - Abraão
Hi like and day today of can me my you is into one ok were we you your can me
ok this is my dream weather
«Отлично! Это видео действительно помогает мне расслабиться и почувствовать себя хорошо после тяжелого рабочего дня».
so beautiful ...
what kind of car are you driving? sure goes through the snow with ease!!
Volvo XC70 :)
It is a blizzard. The snow is sticking to all the building fronts. This does not happen in just any old snow storm.
If you allow your windshield a little more time to get wet your wipers won’t squeak so bad
Gr8 couragous driver on This hell called ""winter "" and others weathers coastal anomalies !!!!!
From NB until NFLD :
Your really strong citizen to endure this plague i tell you !!!!!
God bless and protect Atlantic provinces !!!!!
45:50 Burp
lol
#embarrassing
I was on a cod liver oil regimen that gave me bad gas :l
1:19 AND 30 seconds!! Do you have any idea just how long that truly is when you no control of the volume and all you hear are the windshield WIPERS!!!!!!!!
You actually do have control of the volume and how long you choose to watch.
Like Halifax it's cool .
Hi like and day today happy love Kathy Borden 🇨🇦❤️
hey thats my birthday, Glad I gave you a blizzard, sorry lol
A blizzard is usually available at your local Dairy Queen (just trying to help)
2020 now I'm watching ,
So beautiful)
a great weather to watch all the episodes of a series in netflix
I really loved this video. I just have 1 question. What vehicle were you driving?
Thanks. I was driving a Volvo XC70.
Very nice
Remek videó Gratulálok! 🚘
How is it driving up those steep hills in the winter time? Do people ever get stuck and not make it up?
Lots of people get stuck, especially the buses because the city doesn't think it's necessary to install winter tires on them. If you have winter tires and use your senses, the odds of getting stuck or losing control are actually pretty low.
CptSchmidt would you recommend a certain type of vehicle to make it easier or a certain type of tire?
Really any kind of vehicle is okay if you're smart about it. Having winter tires makes a huge difference; you can get snow tires with different kinds of tread, and you can even get studded tires which are the best.Just drive whatever makes you the most comfortable. RWD vehicles generally perform poorly in snow and ice. AWD is good in snow and 4WD is better. There is a myth that a lot of people believe, and that's that you can carelessly drive trucks and SUVs in these conditions and not have to worry; it doesn't matter what you drive-without adjusting your driving for the conditions, the risk of a crash greatly amplifies.
love your video but had to mute it because the wipers drove me crazy.... I can't believe there are so many people out walking. Cool video pun intended ; )
amazing
I'm surprised to see how many people are out in it
Occasionally the complete lack of any visible human activity suggests a post-apocalypse situation, except in that case the roads wouldn't be cleared.
Thanks, I like riding in the snow, and I don't have to wear a coat or do the driving. You can talk to us. It's ok. :D
Nice video.greetings from germany
Be safe please
Thanks, Mark :) Peace to you.
do one in 2018 lol
Thanks, Drake. I will :)
How many days this kind of weather in city throughout year
Maybe about a week or two.
Great weather conditions...
I did that after white juan. Cool video.lol
White car in front in snow with no lights on ?
This weather is nasty and beautiful at the same time !!Great ol Maritimes
I imagine that rattling sounds your teeth! Great film!
What kind of car are we in?
A Volvo XC70
Would this classify as a snow day for school children?
Yes
Vitoria Ribeiro, imaginando levantando às cinco da manhã 😮
Hello CptSchmidt, what kind of car did you take for this drive? Nice video btw!
A Volvo XC70. Thanks for watching :)
CptSchmidt Contemplating the idea of immigrating from Germany into NS. Your videos are very interesting. Thanks for posting!
in montreal we got 27 cm from this storm.
Memories
Hi like and day today happy can ok good ok my you your one up me and of day you you see is into is are ok
Nun ja, also vom Wetter her ist es ein unangenehmer Tag im Erzgebirge, nichts besonderes. Schhnee fehlt . Aber schöner Video.
At 45:52 "Excuse me!" Also at 46:32.
Burping was gross. Besides, it was a good video overall.
Sorry about that. It really is embarrassing. I was on a cod liver oil regimen and didn't even realize it was happening.
I wouldn’t say blizzard but yes, it snowed lol
i turned 10 that day
So many people are walking on the street....more people than cars....
How long does the snow season last in Nova Scotia?
It's cold for about 7 months of year, and we get snow for about 3-4 months of those 7.
CptSchmidt I see. Thanks.
What vehicle are you driving?
A Volvo XC70.
AS THE NWS SAID, DO NOT DRIVE UNLESS YOU NEED TO
What were you driving?
Volvo XC70
In weather like this, is everyone told to stay at home ?
In Sweden, when there is a weather like this, everything goes on as usual. Of course some delays but with the larger streets full of cars in traffic, it's not easy keeping the surface in a good condition.
nice
Country n city ?
Why the hell is everyone walking around in this weather and (especially in the road)!?
is this FWD or AWD?
AWD
That was nothing compared to up here in the valley lol
AffaGraphics i grew up in the city. Born in the valley moved back in mid 20"s
From my experience and I'm almost 50 valley gets more snow more often. Halifax just takes bigger storms. As the storms slide up the coast. Unless its a nor easter
Then the valley gets blasted
I used to drive rear pack garbage truck in every one of the areas you're showing here in this weather too
Awesome! Glad I'm not driving!
Why can't it ever snow like this where I live? Ugh.
It sucks trust me
. no it doesn't
