Description
A winter storm that blasted Atlantic Canada on Monday continues to wreak havoc on Newfoundland and Labrador. Strong winds forced schools to close and ferries to shut down for a second day in a row Tuesday. Power outages hit communities in the west and Northern Peninsula. On Monday, gusts of 140 km/h hit some parts of the province. A tractor-trailer blew over on the Burin Peninsula and winds ripped the roof from Discovery Collegiate in Bonavista. Environment Canada issued blizzard warnings for much of Labrador, as well as winter storm and snow squall warnings across the island. Strong winds paired with a high tide may cause coastline flooding in the southwest, officials warn.

Im in Vermont....couple weeks ago or so we had a wicked cold snap - below zero for several days in a row, and I pray to God that does NOT happen again. Frozen pipes are not fun....and it happened to several people. Plus, I live in a poor area - so many people I know ran out of fuel. Argh, really hope it doesn't get too bad. We have heat tape now for the pipes, and just filled our tank, but I feel for others...

Stay safe ok? To prepare...

Used to storms here =) Have gotten 3 feet+ in some. I can deal with snow - if it gets too bad, just stay in. It's the intense cold I hate.

Stay safe!

Sort of...don't forget back in '05 this area (New England) had a blizzard with 20-30" of snow - isolated pockets up to 38" and 80+ MPH gusts. We won't see that kind of snow and wind gusts will be 45-60MPH

This storm is gonna be a big one for sure, but '05 was bigger.
