Driving in a Canadian Blizzard, March 29, 2015
Recorded on Sunday, March 29, 2015. Driven in a 2004 Volvo XC70. This drive covers the North End and downtown of Halifax, Nova Scotia. I had to pull over a few times to get the ice off my wipers. A few times the camera went out of focus for a few minutes, so I cut those parts of the video.
This was filmed at the same time Air Canada 624 crashed at Halifax International Airport. Investigators are apparently confused how it happened. This gives you an idea of what the weather was like at the time, which, to me, makes it kind of obvious....

Wow. You are truly an example of Canada's worst. Environment Canada classifies a blizzard as any storm that has snow that reduces visibility to less than 1km for 6 hours with winds up to 40kmh. It's not my fault you're an embarrassing, ignorant moron. You saying that this isn't a real blizzard is like saying that a magnitude 5 earthquake isn't really an earthquake because there a stronger earthquakes.
This is by far the best driving video i have watched on youtube.And your a great driver dealing with them conditions.

We didn't get much snow here in Norristown Pa. When snow came rain came right behind taking it away ,dogs was piss looking at me like I had something to do with
Thankfully you didn't have your radio on or constantly talk .
this is a good view of a far off city in winter time...thanks...good driving
I do remember worse in northen Ontario , there was no visibiliety , we were 5 guy's in the pick-up , one had to walk in front of it , to loced the boundries of the road , that was about 1987 ?!
That's a little more snow than you like to see but snow is normal in winter and down in the Midwest we've hardly gotten any snow at all in the last 2 years. That's NOT normal. This year 2017 we are supposed to get a wet mild winter for 2017 -2018 - I hate it - it will be wet, swishy, muddy, and ugly instead of white and frozen the way it should be.
Great video I live in western Canada I work out doors so I check the weather network before going to work NS got pounded with snow this winter Must have ben hell

Halifax commonly has thaw and refreezes that can layer ice over old snow but this winter was the worst in a good while for it, about 75cm of old snow was insulated under ice with new snow on top. The sidewalks were just meter tall ice mounds that were way above the street that year
love it
Welcome to Canada where the snow drifts are four feet high
Is the car 4WD?

@@donniegray553 Considering the video is 1:04:07 minutes long and you claimed to have watched four minutes at the time of your first comment, which was 18 minutes ago, that would mean that you could have only watched about 22 minutes of the video by the time you said you had "watched to the end"-not even a quarter of the video. I'm sorry that you don't agree with Environment Canada's definition of a blizzard, but this storm met all of the conditions for it to qualify as a blizzard. There was also no ice rain at any point in this video.

This was a blizzard. The definition of a blizzard is "6 or more hours with winds above 40 km/h, with visibility reduced to below 1 km by blowing or drifting snow, and with windchills over 1600 W/ m2 (watts per square metre)." This met all of those conditions.

It was a blizzard. A blizzard occurs when it snows in combination with sustained winds of more than 40kmh and reduces visibility to less than one kilometer for at least six hours. This storm met all of those criteria.

John Stanly Enjoy it. I just shoved a 3 foot wide path so UPS could bring me food. My driveway is 100 feet long and the snow is over 12 inches deep. My cat was thinking about jumping off the path, thinking... Im freaking beat from shoveling. Oh, and it is 10 degrees. I lived in Katy/Houston TX in 1982
now watch one from the U.S

At no point in this video is the visibility more than 1km. It's mostly between 500-800m at most.

6 жыл бұрын
wow, you say 800 meters? well that is .497 miles so I was closer when I said ONE HALF MILE not 1 mile. I counted the streetlights and rounded them down to 300 feet per block and guessed 1/2 mile which is about 800 meters. When we get a blizzard here in Michigan, I can't see 100 feet. BTW, this blizzard you show doesn't even have very much wind. Yea it is a fair amount of snowfall but blizzard, not. I have seen it snow 48 inches in 8 hours and that was just a lot of snow.
@CptSchmidt

Okay, but this storm fit the Canadian definition of a blizzard. Visibility must be less than 1km for at least three hours by snowfall/blowing snow. At times in this video, visibility is barely 100m. Just because sometimes it snows heavier than what you see here does not mean that this was not a blizzard.
