When you think you have had a lot of snow....
In Canada within 24 hours we had 91 cm and another 10-15 cm overnight combined with 130 km/hr wind gusts and blizzard conditions! State of emergency for 48 hrs and lots of power outages with (minus) -20+ windchills.

Last week at the other end of Canada we had 20cm of snow over 3 days. It was -5C for a couple of days but today at +8c the rain came and washed it all away.
John, were you in Newfoundland when the storm hit or in California driving your MGF with the top down? One day into our storm

Prince Harry and Megan are looking for work over there if you have a couple of spare snow ploughs available.

That's a fair bit of snow ... Gävle has the Swedish record for snow fall, went from just 1cm of snow to 131cm over a three day period. Spent much of the time up on the roof easing the weight of snow with the kids having a splendid time "helping" by jumping off the roof into the snow. Some roofs collapsed but mainly industrial units.
