Top 5 Burns Lake Reactions (as a community) to the 4 Feet of snow that fell in 30 Hours
yep. four feet of snow.
1. Closed town on Saturday. The highways were closed anyway, and some of the power was out, including the gas stations. So, town closed.
2. Closed the schools on Monday. Many roads were still not plowed, plus a couple of the schools didn't have power, so buses didn't run and kids were encouraged to NOT go to school.
3. The Hockey arena closed. A Very Big Deal. All the snow clearing equipment was allotted elsewhere, so the parking lot, including emergency exits, couldn't be cleared. A tournament may not take place this coming weekend.
4. Everyone pitched in. Guys with plows on their trucks were clearing highways, people were bringing their neighbours loads of firewood, I personally received about 14 phone calls making sure I was OK and checking if I needed anything. The community spirit was heartwarmingly overwhelming.
5. =with a pretty darn big bullet= The Village of Burns Lake has cancelled Halloween. They just don't want people to be on the roads if the don't need to be, especiallly kids walking on streets where the snow piles are about twice the height of them. The Avenues just aren't safe, so Burns Lake has cancelled Halloween. Hilariously Awesome.
