Coming from a place that gets colder than the surface of Mars, and typically measures it's snow in feet rather than inches, I'll laugh at that. When you live in Winnipeg, which often gets called Winterpeg, little snow squalls are cause for snowmen, if you still make them. I'll never take seriously any "winter" event in a place whose "winters" avg above zero celcius.Funny as it sounds, Filomena was a big depression that actually occurred three years ago. It obviously wasn't that extreme, but the pictures of the stations and landscapes covered by snow are real.
I mean, this doesn't happen every year, but this kinda stuff does happen. This was from 1997, a spring blizzard that led to The Flood of The Century when it melted off. One of the few times The Peg was under flood threat since the Floodway was built.
