Nova Scotia Buzz
Reminiscent of Nova Scotia’s White Juan, Newfoundland just got pounded by mother nature and received howling winds and over 70 cm of snow. A woman in labor was even dropped off at the hospital in St. John’s on a ski-doo by her husband. An avalanche occurred in the St. John’s neighbourhood of Battery.
St. John’s International Airport reported receiving 76.2 cm of snow, but areas including the City of St. John’s reportedly received more. A state of emergency was put in place and remains active to keep residents safe. The Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador said, “It was one for the history books.”

This guy was way too honest… the joy of live TV.

The avalanche in St. John’s. Some residents were eventuated.
Pictures from the avalanche in the Outer Battery. If anyone is still there please listen to evacuation orders and stay safe.

Where’d you go?
I’m sure there are many people who have either done this, or it’s on the bucket list! Thanks to 📸 Ryan Pierce @pierceryan1812 Insta for reporting this to us! #nlblizzard2020 #NLStorm2020 #NLblizzard pic.twitter.com/O6sXJy13gx

This was no joke!
Radio just reported that a pregnant woman in labour drove herself to the hospital on a skidoo. I hope they are ok. I’m pretty this child will grow up to be the future Premier that will lead us to prosperity. #snowmaggedon2020 #nlstorm #nlblizzard2020

No snowplow for miles.

At least the ski-doo club is having fun.
