Snowmageddon

On December 12, 2010 a massive snow event gripped significant portions of Lambton and surrounding areas stranding over 1,500 motorists along Highway 402 and other roadways. Snowmageddon as it is known brought communities to a standstill all while increasing the resources needed to respond. The County of Lambton declared a State of Emergency, supporting a request by Lambton OPP regarding the deployment of Canadian military to undertake rescue flights.

We have a unique opportunity to reflect on this event and capture the community's history while helping local emergency planners better understand how individual households prepare for winter storms. Submit your photos and/or story of Snowmageddon and help inform future planning for significant weather events.
