Snow fell across Canada this past weekend, but Newfoundland got more than their share.
The capital of Newfoundland, St. John’s, was hit with 30 inches of snow in 24 hours, shattering a previous record, the Weather Channel reported. Officials also recorded snowdrifts as high as 15 feet on some highways, more than a few of which required help from Canadian armed forces to clear.
Plowing the streets is all well and good, but you can't go anywhere when you open the front door to a wall of snow, or your car has completely disappeared underneath it. Now that the plows and snowblowers have been at work, we have plenty of evidence of the unusually massive snowfall.
