Photos my father sent me… Note the French title… I guess the original source is a Francophone.

Those aren’t smiles, it’s shock…
Holy Smokes!! That is SNOW!!!
Better them (or anyone else!) than us!!
Those are great photos there Mig, thank you for sharing them and thank your father for letting us know what real snowfall is all about. I bet you wish that you could be there helping cause that is the kind of guy you are.
Actually, I’ve seen lots of snow when I lived in Prince Rupert too. The difference is that the snow seems to build up more in huge snowbanks in certain part of the east coast. The picture I posted was from a single 35 cm snowfall but it was taken on a road near a large body of frozen water with the wind coming from above the ice. As soon as something catches, the bank builds up from the snow drifting across the flat surface. I arrived at my parents place the evening before that storm and my dad’s 75 feet driveway was clear with 4 feet snowbanks on each side. The next morning, you couldn’t tell the driveway from the older snow banks. We cleaned the front steps 4 times during the morning because it kept building up from the drifting snow.
There was a snowbank on a side road that was about 8 feet high, built up in just one night. The winds were 60-70 km/h.
May i ask when all this snow fell ? All in one day or just over time ?
These photos are actually from a few years ago (2003?). They’re not of the current storm.
when I lived in terrace back in the middle 60’s and early 70’s snow was like that 10 to 15 feet, I had a picture of my dads logging truck and all you could see was the smoke stacks on the truck…
Cool pictures MiG’s
