Multi Day Snowfall Event Blankets East Coast

Snowmageddon East Coast: Historic Storm Pummels Nova Scotia

Multi-Day Snowfall Event Blankets East Coast

A relentless multi-day snowfall event has left parts of the East Coast buried under staggering amounts of snow, with Nova Scotia bearing the brunt of the storm's wrath.

As of Monday morning, Nova Scotia's Cape Breton region, including Sydney and Glace Bay, is forecast to receive an incredible 100 cm or more of snow. The heavy, continuous snowfall has caused widespread power outages, transportation disruptions, and a local state of emergency in the Cape Breton Municipality.

Volunteer observers in Nova Scotia have reported significant snowfall totals, according to meteorologist Ryan Snoddon. In just 24 hours from Saturday to Sunday, Sable Island recorded an astonishing 67 cm of snowfall.

Key Snowfall Totals:

* Cape Breton: 100+ cm expected * Sydney, Glace Bay: 100+ cm expected * Sable Island: 67 cm in 24 hours

Impact of the Storm:

* Widespread power outages * Transportation disruptions (air, rail, road) * Local state of emergency in Cape Breton Municipality * School closures and business interruptions * Potential damage to infrastructure and property

The massive snowfall has brought life in Nova Scotia to a near standstill, with residents urged to stay home and avoid unnecessary travel. Emergency crews are working tirelessly to restore power and clear roads, but conditions remain treacherous.

The storm is expected to move away from Nova Scotia later on Monday, but the cleanup and recovery effort is likely to take several days. Nova Scotians are urged to exercise extreme caution and follow the instructions of local authorities.
