Part of Canada is paralyzed by a "historic" snowstorm. Authorities had to seek help from the military.
Blocked houses, cars buried in snow... Images and videos posted on social media are impressive and shocking. This Monday, February 5, a part of Canada was paralyzed by an unprecedented snowstorm, according to experts, it's a "historic" storm.
A massive amount of snow fell in Nova Scotia. In Cape Breton, the snowfall was one of the strongest in the last 20 years, with some parts of the region receiving up to 2.62 feet of snow. As a result, the regional municipality declared a state of emergency. Residents were instructed to take shelter in their homes and clear snow from entrances, walkways, and driveways to facilitate access to homes.
Over 2.95 feet of snow fell at Sydney Airport, and in downtown Sydney, it was 4,92 feet of snow.
As of Sunday morning, more than 4,400 Nova Scotia Power customers were without electricity. This is likely to fluctuate throughout the storm.
Canada Post issued warnings to delivery services. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia are under a red alert, meaning that deliveries for the day are suspended. New Brunswick has a yellow alert, indicating potential delays in postal service. Due to the snowstorm, many schools, universities, and government offices were closed.
Many flights at Halifax International Airport were delayed or canceled, and city public transportation was suspended. "With such a large amount of heavy and sticky snow that we received, snow removal is difficult and will take time," warned Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston.
Local residents shared their experiences of the snow collapse in the region. A 72-year-old man said he had seen a lot of snow in his time but nothing like this. He is also concerned about the snow on the roof of his house, part of which fell this weekend. Marilyn Exworth said that about a meter of snow had accumulated at her front door, and she felt trapped. "I felt like I was suffocating in the house, as if I had no way out."
In Michael Ladlow's house in Brotone, Cape Breton, the roof of one of his barns collapsed due to a huge amount of snow. According to his estimates, there were two meters of snow on the steel roof.
When windows began to break from the pressure of the snow, residents of the apartments joined forces, clearing the areas on the ground floors and boarding up the broken windows with plywood.
Buddy Singh was in his apartment in Sydney, North Carolina, early Sunday morning when he heard the windows in his apartment begin to break.
Due to the snow accumulated outside his ground-floor apartment and snow falling from the building's roof, the pressure on the windows in his apartment was so strong that they began to crack.
Singh said the snow almost reached the apartments on the second floor of his building. He gathered about a dozen residents of Rotary Drive building, and they went outside to clear the snow in front of other ground-floor apartments to prevent window breakage.
"Just all the people who lived there helped each other out, as in Cape Breton," he said.
This is just a small example proving that only by uniting can people cope with the consequences of climate catastrophes, which are already gaining momentum but will reach maximum destructive levels by the end of 2024! If all people on the planet unite and direct all scientific and financial potential to solve climate problems, humanity can overcome the climate threat. Moreover, the implementation of the solution to this problem should be under direct public control; people can participate in the process using their gadgets, as such a control method will eliminate many problems—corruption, abuse of power, irresponsibility, and many other negative manifestations of the modern form of societal governance.
