OSUmetstud Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 These are some shots (not mine) from the battery, a cliffy area of st. John's where an avalanche came into someone's house. There was an avalanche in a similar crazy blizzard that killed 5 in feb 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the most out of this cause it probably won't happen again for a very long time. I'm sure you're on cloud 9 anyway. These are totals you only see in the Sierra's or Rockies and usually even those don't come with winds you're experiencing. Can't wait to see more pics/videos and official totals after this one. Pretty cool that you got to see it in a lot of daylight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Been watching some of the Twitter feed for this and holy crap. Probably one of the most severe winter storms for one of the metros in Atlantic Canada in the past 30 years, along with White Juan for Halifax in 2004.

DavisStraight Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Looking forward to the aftermath pictures on this one, drifting should be incredible. I'd take one of those here and call it a winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Well after going through White Juan, I can say the aftermath of the storm sucks. I do not envy that part. You can’t move really. A prisoner of wherever you happened to be snowed in at. Then you have the clean up to look forward to. Been there done that. I’m ok watching this from the sidelines. Best of luck Nick.
