Although not officially called a blizzard by Environment Canada, I think everyone here in Regina would call yesterday's storm one. The roar of snowblowers could be heard everywhere as homeowners and businesses tried to dig out. Many cars bottomed-out and got stuck in the drifts while being driven down city streets.
The photo above was taken downtown on 12th Avenue (looking east) just before 5 p.m. You can see the snow drift from yesterday's storm is as high as that woman's hip.
Let's hope there isn't a sudden spring thaw; the snow melt would cause havoc and flooding everywhere.
