I know I've complained about the cold weather here this week, and we did get a dump of snow a couple of days ago, which led to me getting rear ended, I am so glad I'm not in Newfoundland right now.

No offense, but I would venture to say that all of us are glad we're not in Newfoundland right now.

I think it was a Star Wars reference.
And yes, he is a woman.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Probably why I can't sleep, all the crying and weeping.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21723) 5 years ago

I think you’ll get over it. 🤣

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Get over what?😉

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21723) 5 years ago

Exactly. 👍

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

Okay, thanks, but I assume you mean "she...."

I've experienced a similar storm once in my lifetime. 31 inches of snow from one storm, however our winds were not as bad as what Newfoundland experienced. And being in a major metro area, we had more resources available to help dig out afterwards. The power of nature...

I've seen a number of pictures from St. Johns and I can't imagine having to dig out all those cars, and well, everything! Where the heck are you going to put all that snow??

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

they dump it in the harbor.

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

They must have to start at the harbor then, and work their way into town??

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The harbor would be cleared first and the trucks back up and dump it in water. They have done that a few times here in Toronto - just dump it in the lake. We don't get the snow like they do down east.

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Around here the snow cannot be dumped in the river - too many contaminants in it.
