TRAFFIC WAS halted from using the Sande, Overpass Satur-. -:
day morning and into the early afternoon when aloaded fuel”.

on to Hwy16. itended with the tractor and first part of the first
tanker nose down over the embankment. The roads were slip-

pery at the time of the accident. Noi injuries or damage was
reported. More than 50,000 litres of aviation fuel and gasoline

- Snowfall blankets area

“TERRACE — The third

. 50mm in the early part of

week of January is normally

the point at which winter -

- begins its long retreat, at

least in terms of snow.
This year, however,
Mother Nature threw

everyone a curve, choosing

that week to dump the first
major snowfall of the season
—-. more than 70cm (28in) in

_less than 72 hours.

What began last week as
yet another one without a

«major snowfall and with ex-

pectations of an early spring,
ended with a startling
amount of the white stuff.
Roads became clogged,
two-lane sections. of road
narrowed to one-lane tracks,

It could be worse

the taxis did a good business
and traffic crawled slowly.

RCMP reported a good
number of minor accidents
and there were two of a more
serious nature — a collision
between a logging truck and
a fuel tanker going over an
embankment adjacent to the
Sande Overpass.

And as last weekend ap-
proached, snowfall ac-
cumulations from the begin-
ning of the month had
already reached 150 cm (60
in). That’s more than enough

January of 116,3cm (46.5
in).

However, the local
weather office offers some

consolation for those whe |

struggled to keep paths,
driveways and roads clear
during the onslaught. If all
the rain that fell earlier this
winter had: been snow,
everyone would have had lots
of practice shovelling by
now. .-

Its figures show 296.7mm

of precipitation was recorded

in November, 284.8mm in -

December anda further

January.

Using the rule of thumb
that Imm of rain is
equivalent to Icm of snow,
those figures add up to a
daunting 6.3m (21 ft) of the
white stuff,

That, says weatherman
Adrian Van de Mosselaer,
compares to average local |
snowfall figures of 48,9cm
(19in) for November and
105.6cm (4lin) in December.
Add in the January average
and the total is still only 2.7m
(8.9ft).

However, he adds, if ‘the
area had experienced the nor-

‘ mal, colder weather over that

period, it would also have
