How do you shovel 30 feet of fluffy stuff away?Barely a sprinkle compared to what I've experienced in central Siberia while visiting extended family on my mother's side back in 2010.
During the 10 days of my stay it snowed non-stop almost throughout. 4-6 feet of fresh snow each day. The difference was the dry continental air coupled with average temperatures of below -30C. Normal for that part of the world in winter. What that does is that it makes the snow extremely fluffy and light. It's like walking in powder. So even if the snow accumulation is almost to the roof of your house, you can still easily push the front door open and go outside.
We're talking about a village here. You only do enough to make pathways for you to get to the animal shed, the well, wood storage, etc. You don't do any more than that.How do you shovel 30 feet of fluffy stuff away?

They do, but there are a few things you need to know before hopping on a plane.Do they offer all inclusive?
CBC said:Quebec's brief reprieve from winter weather comes to an end Wednesday night, as heavy snowfall and strong winds are expected.
Environment Canada has issued winter storm and snowfall warnings across Quebec, and the agency advises the public to avoid all non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Hardest hit will be the Quebec City area, where winds are expected to gust up to 90 kilometres per hour and 35 to 45 centimetres of snow is predicted to fall.
In Montreal, up to 35 cm of snow is predicted.
It's not going to be more dangerous for you and anyone else caught up in this snow storm... Also, it's a snow storm. This is Quebec. It happens. Every year.Here in Sorel, we should get 35 starting this afternoon and ending tomorrow night, but the way its spread out, I think the school board will go ahead and open up for the day hence I get no day off from work.
10 today
15 tomorrow morning
10 tomorrow afternoon
Now, it will be extremely dangerous when I go home at 3:30PM, but the school board usually looks outside in the morning around 6AM and decides according to what's happening then without really looking at forecasts too far ahead. My only hope is that while the busses actually run in the morning it will be the worse hours of it, 3cm per hour at 8AM with 60km/h winds. The bus drivers will hate that.
I'm guessing this is 'the' storm this year..? Probably not going to see 30-35 cm again in March or something?
There are still pretty bad storms in March.
March always has some big ones as it gets milder which makes it more favourable for snowy conditions. One of the biggest storms was March 1972 (or 71), or how about the one on March 14th or thereabouts about 2 or 3 years ago that stranded a bunch of people on the 13.
I went for a drive during the worse part of that storm (hey, i was hungry ok) and even though I was only in the little streets of Brossard, I was terrified. I couldn't see a damn thing and I was afraid to stop because I wasn't sure I'd be able to get moving again. Plus, the snow was so intense that my car would have been burried in minutes and the plows would have destroyed my car lol
I don't regret doing it because it was an experience, but I won't play with fire like that again.
EC has lowered its snow amounts for the island of Montreal to 10 cm (2 cm today, 2 cm overnight and another 5 cm tomorrow), down from the 15-20cm of this morning. Montreal seems to be right in the zone where rain becomes snow so it must complicate the job of meteorologists.
Laval should get 15-20cm, north of Laval should get 25-35cm, south of Montreal should get 5-15cm.
You could have done better. Minimum effortMerci Geo.
