Hey, anyone else in the maritimes?

They said we were going to get a 30-40cm snowstorm, which is downright demented in itself for someone from Montreal like me, but as it stands there's no way it's under 50cm.

I tried walking out earlier and when I opened the door I had snow up to my belt. The place is empty, it's a ghostown. I can't even see my car, it's entirely buried in snow from only a days worth.

And it's -30 with 80+km/h winds on top of that!!!

Where are you in the Maritimes? Because it varies. Fredericton got around 30 cm, similar amounts for St-John, and Moncton got destroyed with another 50 cm.

Moncton. Yeah, we got our ***** handed to us today. I've never seen anything like the last two weeks, it looks like it came straight from Game of Thrones.

Man I can't imagine how you're getting rain, when we're getting -30degrees. I think I'd rather have the snow than see the already 1m of snow turn to ice tommorow. Good luck to you guys... hopefully not too many people went on the roads today.

It's 2 degrees here right now. We had a little snow earlier but it turned to rain rather quickly. Crazy weather.

Yep. Got stuck on the road coming back from work. Crashing my Jeep through mountains of snow only got me so far. Never made it back to my house. Tow trucks refused to come out. Coworkers pulled me out with a rope. Sleeping on someone's couch tonight! Thank you, NB.

I live in Dieppe, NB, and the storm has shut down the whole town. My brother went off to work at 6am and he got snowed in at the hotel (where he works). He's stuck overnight and probably for most of tomorrow too. There are no roads, no sidewalks, just snow up to your thighs. Cabin-fever is setting in. Running low on #stormchips. Send help...

It's a maritime thing. On saturday everyone was stocking up on chips and snacks at costco, they were even talking about what snacks they were going to get on the days leading up to the storm.

Total was around 55 cm at 5 pm for us in Charlottetown. It eased off for a bit so I shoveled out the door and a small path around the car that took about 2 hours to do. Now another 10-15 before tomorrow and the wind is picking up. Time for another drink!

Pics? I wish we could get a storm like that here. I need some days off to study.

This has to be MT's fault somehow. Could someone please research it and get back to us? :sarcasm:
