It'sSnOVYoke!

Ol' Jack Frost served up a monster blizzard this past Thursday, burying the province under 76 cm of white stuff. And let me tell you, it was "Snow" pic- nic to go out there!

The state of emergency for the province ‘remained in effect Friday, and advised people who had "snow" business travelling in the treacherous conditions to stay off the roads. A government spokesperson reportedly said "don't worry, the 'snownly' thing we have to fear is fear itself!"

Roads remained icy and dangerous well after the storm ended on the island. As one per- son who was stuck travelling dur- ' ing the storm said, "now that's what I call a slippy situation!" When asked to elaborate, he said "I've got snow time to talk with all this shoveling to do! ‘Snow’ pain, snow gain! I can't get snow satis- faction when I have to shovel through a six-foot drift in my driveway!"

Many businesses and gov- ernment offices were closed so

that their employees could go out and play in the "White Juan," proving that when it comes to bosses, Island employers are not all "frosty!" It's also a good thing that UPEI was having it's semi- traditional Reading Week, other- wise students would have had to "dig in" and ski all the way to class!

But really, the storm of the century was "snow fun" to people who absolutely had to get to work. Plows were called off the roads during the peak of the storm, but were incredibly busy afterwards, proving "there's no business like snow business!"

Although the storm broke long-standing records in Charlottetown, neighbouring city Halifax was hit harder, totalling over 100 cm. The city invoked a curfew and threatened to fine or imprison any stray pedestrians or snowshoers in an effort to aid snow removal crews. This just goes to show you "there's snow place like home!"
