A friend brought this to my attention…
And it is soooo true. I am proud of my country, and I love it very much… (not as much as Denmark, of course, but still a lot) But one thing we suck at, is having driveable roads when spring comes!
I can’t believe that in 2018, after sending people into space, no one has managed to come up with asphalt that doesn’t disintegrate when the ground unfreezes!
I suspect a poor-quality-asphalt lobby, making sure we don’t get to buy the good stuff, just to make sure they (here’s that mysterious “they” again) can make loads of money filling the countless holes in the roads…
Dang, I complain, and I don’t even have a car!! Fellow people who have a cold winter too, how are the roads in your country, when spring comes again??

Did you ever call it macadam? I grew up calling blacktop macadam, and only later found out it was invented by a Mr. MacAdam in the late 1700s-early 1800s.

There are potholes here that would swallow a VW Bug. And our winter wasn’t even that bad. It’s crazy this year. 😃

Well, the skies have finally turned the faucet off. I think we’re safe for now. It’s blowing like 50 mph out there right now, but the rain is gone. 😃

Our winter is so cold it even dips below 0 C some mornings, and we have to endure average daytime temperatures as low as 20 C – the roads seem to survive – though during summer when we commonly get temperatures well above 40 C, tarmac can get ‘a little loose’ …

Giant potholes… Small potholes… Patched potholes that never stay patched… They’ve even made an ice cream flavor for it… “Nor’easter Pothole” … Chocolate ice cream swirled with black tar fudge, with crushed chocolate cream cookie gravel and asphalt chocolate chips.
It was delicious, by the way.

You Canadians are fiercely friendly and rugged. Potholes are something that can bring anyone to their knees though and seriously wreck a car.

Who’s at fault if the asphalt’s faulty? It is futile to fault the frail, faulty asphalt when the fault is felt each fall without fail when the asphalt faults are felt by all. Who’s fault is the frail, failed asphalt faults? Why, it’s that ass, Faulk, at Faulk’s Fine Asphalt Bazaar.

It must be a world wide problem… Mind boggling that no one managed to fix it yet!

In the summer our motorways were melting that was far more amusing.
Also our roads are shit, but considering we panic at the sight of a snowflake, I am not sure what we do if we get your sort of snow
