My cousin in St.John's had to climb out his kitchen window to clear the front door that was drifted in over the roof. He has a small 8' wide driveway about 40' long, said it took him 6 hours with his new heavy duty snow blower. Now he has a clear driveway but the road is under 4' of snow. I'm SOOOOOO jealous! What I would give for a HUGE dump of snow right now and be done with this -40 nonsense. It's time to ride!
Not as good as it sounds ....the 120 - 150+ kph winds did a number on it .....compacted with high drifts the bare spots .... Would loved to have had the snow without the wind - would be less of a problem and better for riding....

Like when we are ditch banging it’s drifted in 3.5 ft deep with a hole every so often to throw you over the bars

That was 75cm in NFLD which is massive not sure Edmonton has seen any more than 15cm in one storm for a number of years, last storm over 30cm was in 2003.

White Juan dumped 101cm in Halifax/Dartmouth and in 1999 Prince George BC go 145cm in under 24 hours.

2012/13 was an awesome snow year in the Edmonton area but we haven't had anything cost to that since.

I'm eying up Owen Sound, Ontario for possible relocation if we were to leave YEG, average 10' of consistent snow and right on the water
