Leaning out my second floor window chatting with neighbours letting them know I'm going, could they take in any packages for me, etc. Mary uphill offered to shovel my step so it looks like I'm home. Anyhow, during that, car slides down the WHOLE block, horn wailing, tires still. No brakes at all. Swung around at the bottom and darted off on the level cross street lol

There were a few outages on the southern Avalon in this province as well from the freezing rain. Not sure about St-Pierre et Miquelon but the entire Avalon will be transitioning to snow.

EDIT: Goddamnit, I missed a good pic. I figured the back of my house must have a big over-hanging drift like those ones opposite above. Never checked. My whole fucking house just SHOOK, and then there was a massive THUD, checked the back deck and it has that look of avalanche snow with lots of turmoil in it, not smooth. So there must've been a big drift hanging off. Aww. I hope the folks in the Battery are fine. There have been fatal avalanches there a few times.

Cripes - that’s insane and beautiful at the same time.
No wonder people in St. John’s love their city so much - for obvious positive reasons and because you’d have to be madly in love to put up with that weather! To be fair I think you guys get a couple good months per year (not consecutive, but if you combine all the good days together). ;-)

Like Ireland..nobody moves to St John's for the long uninterrupted days of sunshine and light winds.
As we are posting this I believe that a poster in Palermo is dreaming of one day visiting St John's in all its winter glory.
Airport has eclipsed 50cm. The snow drifts are nuts though. Looking around my property, we are at snowmageddon 2020 amounts of snow. Driveway has about 3 feet in it, looking like 4-5 feet out on the back deck.

Exact! I am totally shocked by the infinite beauty of the photos of St John's. I can't find the right words to define my feelings. I curse my cruel fate that made me born in a city where snow and frost are utopia. St John's is heaven on earth for snow lovers who want to live in a coastal area. In reality even a city like Halifax is a paradise, it records less snowfall than St John's but a lot of snow always falls and the city is splendid
