With some of the events this last week in Eastern half of Canada and even BC with large snow fall events ( parts of Ontario and Quebec >15cms, parts of BC like Victoria >25cms, and Newfoundland with a whooping 93cms of snow!! )
show how climate change isn't only ice sheets melting and sea levels rising but also snow events will be much more likely in snow prone places.
Conversely areas that don't receive a lot of snow fall may receive even less, Regina Sask only received a measurable amount of snow this Winter just this last week ( 4 cms ).
A Japanese study was released just this last month that suggests major snow fall events could become
5 times more likely in the more usual high snow fall places, with earth's temperature rising and water vapour increasing resulting in more frequent snow fall events.

I have no clue how much a place like StJohn spends on snow removal each year but that ice/sea port may need to increase it's snow removal budget in the coming years for more frequent snow events like happened this last week.

I find it really hard to put into prospective blizzards like happened in Newfoundland but the statistics speak for themselves. 93cms of snow in-one-day in some places, and 170 km/hour wind gusts on that island.
In comparison, the Saskatoon Blizzard of 2007 holds that city's record for worst Winter storm, paralyzing much of Central Saskatchewan with ~25cms of snow & 90km/hr wind gusts.
