Major Quebec Snow Storm

[Marc Rémillard]

Hey there,

Tonight, Montreal, Ottawa, etc. received more than 16 inches of snow and it's still snowing. Here in Quebec city, in addition to this snow, wind is blowing very hard, with values exceeding F0 winds. (50 miles/h with tornado-like gusts of 80 miles/h near Saint-Laurent River)

I went outside to take some stuff on video, I will post a youtube link soon.

As you can see, Snow wasn't that hard on the video, we were in a dry slot, with only light snow, but heavy winds.

Wind kicked me down the hill I was standing on, and then I've got attacked by the part of a roof, flying in the sky.

A tall tree fell on my girlfriend's mother's car.

Intense night.
Sorry for my bad english, feel free to correct me :P

In term of snow this storm wasn't that bad. But the wind made it the worst one since 1971. People are still jammed in their cars and rescue teams searching them with snowmobiles. Many have a bad surprise this morning when they see their roof sufered some damage from the winds.
