Cape Breton Regional Police are on the front lines, dealing with stranded vehicles and navigating treacherous conditions. Swift action is crucial to ensure efficient snow removal and emergency vehicle access.
The snow storm has covered #CapeBreton. I have 6-8ft of snow in my yard with 12+ ft drifts. The snow is relentless. We have a local State of Emergency.
