After reading this article let me revise what I said above
that is one hell of a snowstorm you are having.
Just the kind I was look for.
Blizzard hammers East Coast
By MICHAEL TUTTON
HALIFAX (CP) - The Nova Scotia government declared a state of emergency and told most people not to come into work Thursday as a wicked blizzard lashed the province with strong winds and heavy snow.
Snow-swept highways and roads throughout the province were deserted, all public schools were closed and most flights were cancelled at the Halifax International Airport.
The storm was expected to dump more than 60 centimetres of snow in some parts of the region. As of 10 a.m. local time, 47 cm had already fallen on Halifax.
"It's full-tilt pretty much everywhere right now," said Darin Borgel, a Environment Canada meteorologist in Halifax. "The strong winds and . . . accumulating snow will continue into this evening."
Snow drifts were waist high around Halifax. Those who ventured out had to shield their eyes against the fierce combination of wet, driving snow and gale-force winds.
In the downtown core, one cross-country skier was seen making his way along the middle of the street past the snow-blocked sidewalks.
The drifts were so high Valerie Farmer initially couldn't get out of her house to get to work at a local hospital.
