CBC Prince Edward Island shared a remarkable picture yesterday, a high resolution satellite image of the Gulf of St. Lawrence basin from space that also showed how Prince Edward Island was almost overwhelmed.



Buzzfeed's Tanya Chen created a collection of pictures curated from social media showing the extent of the snow, while Island blogger Peter Rukavina shared a picture of his neighbourhood now that things are barely passable. Summerside's Journal-Pioneer has shared the story, with photos, of a Summerside couple who dug a 25-foot tunnel to find his buried vehicles.

Somewhere in Marcel Landry's Summerside backyard is his car, though you'd have to take his word for it.

Like many Islanders in this most recent storm, Landry and his fiance Stephanie Collicutt, who live on Notre Dame Street, watched the snow drift up and over their parked vehicles. But their case is a bit extreme.

Landry reported Tuesday that the area where his vehicle is parked is under roughly two storeys of snow.

So Monday night, lacking a better option, he started digging towards his vehicles.

After about six hours of digging he'd carved out a snowy pathway measuring 25-feet long and six-feet high in some places.


There will be stories about this for years.
