‘We’re not really prepared’: Scientists say N.L. blizzard a sign of what’s to come
The historic Jan. 17 blizzard dropped more than 76 centimetres of snow
on St. John’s amid winds gusting over 150 kilometres per hour, breaking a
record for single-day snowfall in the city. The provincial capital was
under a state of emergency for eight days as crews worked to clear
roads, and other municipalities responded to infrastructure damage and
similarly deep snowfalls.

Researchers who spoke with The Canadian Press said more intense storms
are likely on the horizon for Atlantic Canada, and the region should
prepare accordingly.
