This photo was taken yesterday in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada... and it's still snowing there - a state of emergency has been declared.

@MeanwhileinCanada

I'd be nervous about standing between a snow bank that size and a wall....just sayin'.

@MeanwhileinCanada

Oh me oh my.
Best wishes to everyone in NS and the other maritimes - looks bad.
@MeanwhileinCanada a snow drift is not the way to measure snowfall. Bigger problem is the long time since a really significant snowfall. Heard today it has been several decades.
@MeanwhileinCanada That is a fair amount of snow by anyones estimation.
@MeanwhileinCanada Wow. No doubt kids are having fun.
@MeanwhileinCanada better get their roof cleared before it collapses.
@MeanwhileinCanada global overheating is real!

The disturbance of the weather system over the North Pole (โ€žpolar vortexโ€œ) - due to the climate crisis - causes cold air to move south.

This indicator uses two different measures to show how snowfall has changed in the contiguous 48 states.

@MeanwhileinCanada several years ago after a certain US election I sort of thought about moving to that area. I'm now glad I didn't ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I dont know if anyone has written this yet, but the man in the picture is standing on a roof. Under the man in the picture, under the roof, are horses.

@MeanwhileinCanada
The flooding when it melts will be awful
@MeanwhileinCanada the small pathway was later used for a neighborhood curling tourney
@MeanwhileinCanada heh, guess climate change was a hoax after all, checkmate liberals
@MeanwhileinCanada A very odd winter in Minnesota. We had snow just in time for Christmas and then it vanished.
