Winnipeg MB got hit by that same storm. My dad got locked in the house all weekend. His father had to walk halfway across the city from his job (that he was snowed in at) to help dig my dad out! My grandmother stayed at the Hudson bay downtown where she worked for 3 days!!! My father said my grandad basically made a slot from the roof to the door so he can slide in and help my dad eat/survive until they were able to start digging the house out…
It was always an insane story as a kid but all the pictures I’ve seen since of this hell storm sure proves that story true. So glad I moved from that city incase it ever happens again.

Photo is misleading as hell.
Actual snowfall was at most 48 inches.
Snow drifts were the problem that could get up to 40 feet.

This photo is deceptive. Tht isn’t a conventional telephone or electrical pole, it’s a railroad pole which are much short let and definitely not 40 feet, maybe 12 to 20 feet

This is the picture that stopped me from going to work in the Bakken field about 20 years ago. I can’t process field work in that environment. I’m a Louisiana boy. Just not cut for that.

Drift* of 40 feet
The snowfall was 3-4 ft tops, according to the news

The important thing is that no one was hurt.

My mom tells stories a out how they went to play out the second story window. And grampa would shovel a tunnel to the barn, for the animals. It was alway hard to imagine. She was born in ’56.

That’s excessive.
It’s 65 degrees in Denver this Christmas. Weather is wild and climate change is making it wilder.
That doesn’t even make sense, it couldn’t have been very widespread, or people wouldn’t be able to get in and out of their homes, right?
Hate to be the guy that has to dig out his driveway in that.
3′ to 4′ of snow, drifts up to 40′.
I remember that. Although, I was in Minnesota at the time. We were out of school for a week.
Repairing those electric poles must have been easier /s
Wtf
Yeah just stand a lil closer there Jeffro.
Their problem came from using 7 foot tall poles. It’s a shame.
