Rose in BC Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Our small town was hit with a major snowstorm. Now as a qualifier, the name of our town translates to "people of the snow", so we're accustomed to big snowfalls. But this was spectacular. On top of which our house lost power for two days....I learned I'm not inclined to be a pioneer woman :). Some areas lost power for three days. Our vehicles were high centered on our road. It was crazy. But our town pulled together to help those in need. I'm exhausted. I work in the emergency operations centre which was activated all weekend. Today is a stat holiday in our province ...I hope I can have a recoup day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyUnicorn Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yuck! We are getting slammed, but not 66 inches slammed. Everything is canceled and closed around here. Probably tomorrow too at the rate it's going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow. We've gotten one inch of snow so far this winter. I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around 66 inches in two days. Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in IN Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow, that's a lot of snow! I can't really imagine - we got about a foot last weekend and that seemed like a lot! Hope you get some rest today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose in BC Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Only the idea is romantic...reality is no power means cold....cold house, cold food, dark. No outside communication. :) High centered? The vehicle's under carriage is on a pile of snow, and tires not touching ground. You can't move.

Rose in BC Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 How does this even happen?! Well, this is our first time experiencing the phenomena....you drive through snow (we had a 4x4) eventually hitting a patch so deep you're ascending the pile and then you're stuck. Some or all tires don't hit ground. In our case when the snow stopped we had to use a personal snowblower around vehicle and then it had to be winched out. And that was only day one of storm. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose in BC Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 And all this followed a very stressful week. I kind of feel beat up today. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
