What winter is actually like in Courtice
Courtice has an unusual amount of open ground for somewhere this close to Oshawa, and the 418 running north from the 401 cuts straight through it. That road is exposed, comparatively quiet, and drifts in a way the parallel stretch of the 401 does not. Closer to town, Townline Road marks the Oshawa boundary and is often the point where plowing and salting change hands between two municipalities — a difference drivers notice on the first icy morning of the year.
