Kitimat 2015 Snow Storm Digging Vehicles out at KMP

The snow finally quit falling and the sun came up while the residents of KMP Construction Village pulled together to get each others vehicles out of the snow.

I remember this…we flew out of Kitimat on Sunday February 1st as the storm was rolling in (just about got grounded) for our turnaround. And if my memory serves me I believe our 7 days off turned into 21 or more? Glad I didn’t get stuck in camp but was able to spend the time at home.

I use to live near Terrace (north of Kitimat) 'till the mid 60s. One year in the late 50s it was not uncommon to get 3 feet of snow over night. We drove in a valley, it was piled 8 feet high on both sides of the road. Many times we were snowed in.

[@nylongbow]

5 ft in 3 days... that's a good storm. it was a few years ago now that we got that pace but it lasted 9 days un upstate NY. I believe the totals were somewhere around 13ft in 9-10 days in the middle of the lake effect bands. Got to love the stuff. You either love it or it kills you :P Great Videos!

[@russelloriely6343]

6:00 the snowbank diving. his technique was flawless. nailed it. never have I seen such beauty and form. makes me proud to be canadian.

[@CosmicStargoat]

Great, unique videos. We get plenty of snow in Colorado, but I've never been in anything like you filmed. Wow.

[@tudorarada46]

[@off-roadrcaddict4572]

Couple of inches of snow in UK and everyone shits their pants. I love the snow. Bring it on !

[@pinkyponk9091]

They do! I'd love this kinda snow but in London we get half a inch and it's like the country collapses.

[@fmxinsane]

This is crazy! would love to be there. thanks for posting

[@Roseanna1111]

Ill never forget being in kitimat ffor the storm. Me and my fellow workers had a blast on the friday during the storm watching everyone try to leave to get beer while drinking beer in my truck. I ended up melting my truck into the snow pretty good after leaving it running for 7 hours.

[@shannoninalaska]

I live in Florida and never see snow so this was fun to watch. Great video that shows what people have to go through up north. God bless them. Hope everyone found their vehicles. There's an app for that right?

[@tabs157]

You should have seen in town. This was the year that the District was on strike and they weren't doing their usual snow removal. We had to depend on contracting out to various companies to plow

[@MsKleinlaut]

Great video. I will never again complain about the 1 foot snow we get in southern ontario.

[@exxoticgamer6008]

+lamar jamar I never have snow in Frankford Delaware we only have 2-3 inches if it 😑

[@boer902]

Oh my goodness, the poor people! And I complain about a little bit of snow, but I can't get used to it, because I grew up in Namibia. Now I stop complaining after I have seen this.

[@rero6212]

Nice video, thanks for posting

[@damama55]

Thanks, Teresa, for sharing your great videos. Hope to see more, Hear there are still lots of people without power. Hope everyone stays safe and warm. Keep up the great videos. :)

[@nocoolname32]

i live in ND and this just floors, me, how is it even possible?!?!?!

[@stavrospapadopoulos5706]

i like very much the snow. in greece never snow. i wish and in greece to snow like this

[@boer902]

I forgot to tell you where I live. Today fell about 10 cm snow in Hannover in Germany.

[@paulbriggs3072]

New York State where I live gets some world record snow some years and while Buffalo and Tug Hill regions have exceeded this, I have personally only seen 4 or 5 snowfalls like this and this looks a bit worse than the worst of those. Our snow is heavy and wetter because the east is moister. Still, this looks SERIOUS.

[@SuperRuss52]

Great Viceo. Great divinign

We never had so much snow in Quebec, Canada.

[@Maxid1]

Looks like there was some trucknage to go along with the carnage.

[@jbnrusnya_should_be_punished]

You need there even bigger trucks to be able to find them in snow drifts at least.

[@JustforFun-ki6fk]

Where i live near the mountains we call that a dusting !. Lol.

[@squamishfish]

this is near the mountains but almost sea level , just go up another 1 or 2 thousand feet in the mountains around this place and there is a lot more snow

[@starguard4122]

[@danielengle4089]

Almost all of them are 4x4 vehicles, they can make it through, just gotta get them out of the giant bank though!

[@gobbly1337]

[@GTVAlfaMan]

Are we supposed to know what KMP means?

[@Radioman909]

You could build a tunnel system to get in and out of work and no one would see you!

[@autoinsider604]
