Just saw on Facebook that the military is being deployed to help with people hunkered down in their houses that can't get out.

Thanks for the link. I sent it to a northern friend who moved south and complains about not having snow.

Wasn't sure where to post these but here are two pics of the Newfoundland storm that captures the plight quite well.. Holy Lord tunderin' jeesus. Hope the tractor guys stocked up on a few hundred gallons of diesel.

The Washington Post is reporting 12-15 foot snow drifts:

What would you use here? Snow plows seem almost useless. Bucket loader and rear-facing PTO snow blower?
Obviously a loader mounted snowblower would be ideal, but unattainable for most.

I was watching some raw video of the snow removal. Interesting, that they have these concrete bridge like structures that jut out into some deep area from a cliff, where the trucks back up and dump their snow. Pretty scary!

Now, I'm not sure where this is.

I think it's an old quarry, great idea, lots of room. Makes my butt pucker just watching them.

Not a great time to wear big clunky boots that get jammed up in the pedals!

The federal government in Ottawa is allowing Newfoundland to dump snow from this storm into the ocean. This was outlawed years ago due to pollutants picked up in the snow....but they have nowhere else to put it.
