I don't know why but I've always found shoveling snow so very satisfying. I remember 19 years ago On THIS VERY DAY. Mel Lastman had to call in the RCAF because of our 46 inch snowfall here in Toronto (oh and they lol'd at us :)). Anyways I just remember that my driveway was turned in this white, glowing hallway (after hours of heavy labour of course). It was so amazing too me that i'll never forget it. I would even "touch-up" these white walls of snow. Keep them smooth and looking nice. It's looked incredible in the day and also at night; snow is very reflective. This was really true of the whole city, everything looked stunning for a while. I hope Newfoundlanders have the same fond memories after-the-fact. Enjoy the rare fleeting beauty of this phenomenon.
They get a lot of storms like this. This one was really bad because of the high winds and drifting snow. If there had not been wind it would still be a mess just not this bad. They have had entire houses buried other years. That wind there can get pretty nasty. Over a 100 km wind can do a lot of nasty things.
Finally cold in UK, been feeling like spring for months....Worry about the elderly in Canada with no power in that cold, hope the communities take care out there
@@steven.h.hh.h7839 your right, British communities are very private, but streets with lots of older permanent residents like mine do tend to look out for one another.
I hope I will not go to depression when I move to canada to my family. Atm I'm living in New Zealand. Lived here for nearly 10 years. We get beautiful summer here when most of the countries get snow and cold, summers hereis not hot sweltering and draught like australia. We sleep in summers in night with no fan. And It stays like that from November to march. And winter here never gets below 0°. It only rain in winter. I am kinda outgoing person who loves evening walks' bush walks and beach my family stay in toronto. It still has a plenty snow to barely drive. This much snow is really depressing to me. Thinking just about snow that so much trouble even travelling and seeing places.😪 and sad part is summers are not even long enough there.
Used to live in Canada and I do NOT miss it at all (only a few good friends) The long ,miserable and brutal winters are a JOKE (except for Vancouver ) .Would only go back if I get paid for "pain and suffering" (seriously)
I was on Cape Cod then. It turned to rain and we were free the next day, but the rest of the state was buried. The beaches took a real pounding though.
It is still shocking that very few cities with access to rivers or the open ocean don't build dump zones with trash and oil separators. Putting the drains at the bottom with mesh to catch the trash that is mixed in the snow would let them dump the snow into the water without letting oils or trash out to the main waters. The fact that the same dump chambers could work as dry docks in the warmer months would also boost the local businesses as there is always a need to pull a boat out of the water for repair or cleaning.
I experienced winters like this in my youth on occasion, I'm 70yo, when living in Erie and Buffalo. We never made national or global news. We had some tragedies of course. But mainly we had fun. I'm so sick of the melodrama that serves as news.
@@vazy1232 tell me about it. i bought a genuine bavarian sled for my son 5 yrs ago and hes still yet to use the thing :) here's hoping though this year might be the 1 lol.
Hi, I live in St. John’s. May I ask where you are located on the island! It is pure ignorance to make such a statement. There atte so many factors in play, wind, various utemperatures, number of small streets ...as we are the oldest city in North America and our streets are not designed in block format. Then their is the hills, some homes are higher and others literally feet away from our harbour. We also have the highest percentage of seniors with faster aging population in Canada. We also have a very high number of people with disabilities and chronic illness who moved to St. John’s from the outports for better physical accessibility and to be closer to our very respected Health Science Centre. Our city is packed with vulnerable people who require assistance. I could write a book in response to your foolish comment. If you are from St. John’s or anywhere in Newfoundland shame on you. You have no perspective and no idea what you are talking about. If you lack education and are not properly informed of our current situation...simply do not comment on something you obviously know nothing about.

@@teleguy5699 That's it. Winds were gusting to 100 mph and there was nearly 40 inches of snow in a 12 hour twelve hour period. Meteorologists were calling it a hurricane wrapped inside a snowstorm.
@@frankdawe5156 I figured that. In blizzards with dry snow my 6 pitch roof won't accumulate like other storms, but I live in the woods, so the snow can pile up quick in one of those classic Maine winters with constant snow.
@@teleguy5699 Just a little shout out to you wonderful people there in Maine. Thirty years ago my parents and I were travelling through Maine when Dad suffered an aneurysm in the aorta that nearly killed him. He was in Intensive Care at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor for two weeks, while Mom and I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House. The staff at EMM were phenomenal. The absolute BEST!!! The ICU nurses even called here after we flew Dad home, to see how he was doing. Mom and I were invited out to supper by several people we met there. We have never forgotten your kindness. Beautiful people living in a beautiful state.
Newfoundland and Labrador is the "state" (we call them provinces though) the city is St John's. Newfoundland is a big island on the east coast of the country (Labrador is part of mainland canada nearby). St. John's is closest to Montreal, but it's still far. It would take more than 30 hours to get there if you took a ferry and drove.
Bys it’s nbd. We are Chillen. I don’t understand why this is such a big deal and why in some places there are even shirts supporting it lol. It’s a bit of snow. I been loving it
Design: Melt Snow vs Plow/Blow; Focus cities & arid climates where storing the water is significant. The typical spiral for a blower is heated parallel discs by induction spinning steel over magnets, no electricity. It's a tanker & has hot-air blower arms to clear sidewalks & cars on PTOs with suction hoses to tank it. So far looks minimal for changes to std trucks except needs side PTOs for sidewalk machines, still a tanker. No funding, some OTS parts, main R&D need magnet heaters for air & snow, spec uses SamCo's for heat tolerance for air to 350C/660F. Big Arctic dumps are mixed with Gulf of Mexico & N.Atlantic warmer, moist air, Nova Scotia will repeat, best thoughts to all.
Ocean temperatures dropping at the Bermuda's to 20 C and the Gulf Stream is cooled down, it did not reach Europe anymore but seem now to starve away, meanwhile the temperature of Greenland has dropped to - 50 C as parts of north Canada and the ice is growing on the west side of Greenland as the west side while the water of the Labrador stream is getting ice temperatures with the amounts of snow receiving till it flows far into the ocean where once was the Gulf Stream. Quebec and it's water is freezing while the Bay of Hudson is frozen in December. Winter is not over yet one month after the shortest day. The climate has a broken trend since 2018, not warming up slowly but cooling down rapidly. Starving is no normal life, the heat made crazy but the cold brings to repentance.
Arjen van Doorne I live in Delaware US and the normal high should only be 4 to 5 degrees in mid January. We been having many days in the teens and it went to the 20s recently. Explain that one if global cooling on.
@@johnlogullo2237 I saw only frost air wide over the sea at your East coast last month. The temperature of Earth follows the sun in the space of creation and on earth land follows the sea temperatures. Remark that - 50 C is extreme normal is - 30 C as minimum. Look if your car still running with - 50 C ?
I hate snow but you have to love the people of Newfoundland.
They’ve got a great attitude and always help each other out. We can learn for them.
