Snowpocalypse 2012 (Winnipeg, Manitoba)

"Be Prepared have your Winter Boots and Winter Jackets Ready and Order your Pizzas and Chinese Food because the Storm will bring a lot of snow in Winnipeg Area"

Well if anyone can handle a record winter storm, it would be your Winnipegitobans.

Guess all the gay Manitobans are going to be happy because I heard that those dudes really like to plow......

Fear not Frankie. Winterpeggians can handle it ... they're tough.

BC Here. Sucks to be you right now. He He.

Sucks to be in Edmonton and Calgary too.

Don't worry expect we will get it some time soon.

Well I'm in the Ottawa Valley, so its not like its my problem.

How is 40CM or 15.7 inches of snow record snowfall? I'm originally from Quebec and 2 foot snow storms aren't uncommon, What's the biggie with this storm??

Yup! We got up this morning and looked out our front window to see the green grass and bare pavement for the last time for about 5 months.. because tomorrow morning, everything will be covered in snow, and with the long range weather forcast calling for -9s and -12s.. I think the snow will be here to stay.. having said that, there is nothing more beautiful than the the city with a fresh fall of snow. It's like living in a winter scene post card.
There are so many trees in the city it rivals many rural areas.

Opening day for Sunshine Village 98cm base already, bring on the snow!

Winnipeg and Minneapolis have a lot in common, a dense tree canopy being one of them.

I don't get why everyone is making such a fuss. Winnipeg gets snow storms all the time.

The country's snowiest town is Stewart, a coastal community nestled in the mountains of northwest BC. Over a typical winter, 572 cm (18.75 feet) of snow lands in Stewart.

Some of British Columbia's mountains get far more snow than anywhere else in Canada. The highest average annual snowfall recorded at a weather station is 1471 centimetres (48 feet) on Mount Fidelity. The station sits above the Trans Canada Highway at 1875 metres (6150 feet) elevation on the west side of Glacier National Park. This is also where snow falls most often in the country, averaging 144 days a year.

Update to Snowpocalypse.

Thought we were going to get off easy.
The snowfall was way under what was forecast when it stopped this afternoon.

I shouldn't have bothered shoveling as we're being hit with another round of snow now, worse than the first.

All the cars parked on the street look like they are wearing matching white stove-top hats.

Dagnabbit, I was so sure we were going to escape the brunt of the storm.

I blame Colorado! Keep your lows to yourself.



Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.
