Snowfall in Sault Ste. Marie seemed to be delayed this year, but the cruel joke by Mother Nature saw a single dump make up for weeks of fall-like weather.
Snowfall in Sault Ste. Marie seemed to be delayed this year, but the cruel joke by Mother Nature saw a single dump make up for weeks of fall-like weather.
City hall and many businesses were closed Friday, as residents struggled to dig out from nearly two feet of snow that came in a hurry and showed no signs of stopping.
Saultites woke up to nearly 50 centimetres of snow Friday morning. Residents throughout the city worked to dig themselves out, with more still on the horizon.
"I started about, 7:30 a.m., I was out," said Normand Hamelin.
"I just finished the road. The plow came last night, but it didn't come back. So that's what happened ... If it started at 7:30, how long do you think it’ll take?
"Well, I'll finish in dark and it'll be dark when I'm done."
