Nova Scotia Grinds to Halt After Record-Breaking Snowfall
Residents of Canada’s Atlantic coast are digging out from a \"historic\" snowstorm that dumped over 100 cm (39 inches) of snow in some areas, paralyzing Nova Scotia over the weekend. The storm shut down roads, schools, and businesses, with Cape Breton declaring a state of emergency to prioritize emergency vehicle access. 🚒
\"These are record quantities,\" said Environment Canada meteorologist Bob Robichaud, calling the event a once-in-a-generation weather phenomenon. Local officials urged non-essential services to stay closed until roads are cleared, while public transit remains suspended. 🚫🚌
Schools across the region will stay shut Tuesday as crews work around the clock to restore normalcy. \"Imagine your entire neighborhood buried under a snow fortress—that’s Cape Breton right now,\" one resident tweeted. ❄️🏠
