Now, THAT'S SNOW!
Most of us Northern Hemisphere folks tell stories of "the big snow". Each story starts the same and ends the same. The beginning goes, "When I was a kid.....", and they end, "Now, THAT"S SNOW!"
Every one of those memories explains how many inches in how many hours the snow fell. They talk about burried cars, and wearing snow mobile suits, "snow days" off from schooll, skiing, or tobogganing, or GT snow racing!
In Ontario we get about one wicked storm a winter. But the accumulations don't match the good ole days.
Now, in Newfoundland the story is soooo different. "The Rock" as we affectionately call Newfoundland gets huge accumulations of snow. This is why almost every house has a wood stove as an alternative heat source. Then like Norway the big rains wash the snow away. So Newfoundland gets cycles of snow, where in Ontario, with mostly no winter rain, we get snow build up throughout the season. Then in late April the thaw begins.
