Is Edmonton in Polynesia ? Snow like this is not common here , thats the point .

not the best of photos , but the trees here in this shot are rainforest not alpine

This storm was out of the blue ,totally with out warning .
Some folk were trapped in their vehicles , on the mountain passes .
The car park at Temple Basin could not be cleared of snow , snow that was meters deep , because of the cars that were trapped beneath .
Such was the speed and ferocity of the storm
