Ambulance strike a ‘paramount concern’ for mayor as Newfoundland digs out of storm
“You can hear snow blowers in stereo pretty much everywhere you go,” Bent said in an interview from the town, which is about 30 kilometres west of St. John’s.
Besides, he said, in true Newfoundland fashion, there are two days of rain forecast to begin on Monday afternoon.“We’ll dig out, persevere and we’ll all be back to work on Monday to wait to see how bad the rain will be on Tuesday.”A winter storm dumped more than 50 centimetres of snow on parts of St. John’s, N.L., over the weekend, marking the city’s first significant snowfall of the season, as seen in this street scene on Sunday January 22, 2023.
Kelly Butt, a severe weather watcher for Environment Canada, said in a tweet that over 52 centimetres of snow had fallen in the east end of St. John’s as of 6:30 a.m. The radar at the St. John’s International Airport logged 48 centimetres, he said.
