Title: f#cking snow
Post by: ajaxgs on October 13, 2006, 11:09:32 AM

look at this from a local news station  :flipoff: :flipoff: :mad: :mad:

A powerful autumn storm has dumped up to 30 centimetres of snow on some regions of southwestern Ontario, and almost 60 centimetres on western New York and Buffalo, making it that city's worst storm in 137 years.
In Fort Erie and Welland, where the storm was at its fiercest on the Canadian side, residents were bracing for more lake-effect snow on Friday as weather analysts predicted the region could receive another 15 centimetres.
Environment Canada described the wintry blast as "significant snowfalls of historic proportions.''

The heavy snowfall and winds of up to 90 kilometres an hour caused tree branches to snap onto power lines, leading to power outages from Port Colborne to Fort Erie, Ont.
Friday's snowfall forced the closure of the Peace Bridge border crossing connecting Fort Erie and Buffalo. States of emergency were called in Fort Erie and Buffalo.
All schools in Fort Erie and Port Colborne were also closed as a result.

Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson said the early October storm is historic.

"I've been looking into the records of Fort Erie ... this amount of snow, this early in the season, I couldn't find anything even approaching it, as far back as 1870," he told CTV.
