Video: Baker Lake, Nunavut blizzard

People in the Eastern Arctic are subject to the worst types of weather with winds having been known to gust over 90 km/h. Add in a little blowing snow and ice and you've got yourself one hell of a storm. The best part is, in some regions of Nunavut, these types of storms can happen anytime between September and May. Lovely. This video is from a reasonably bad storm in Baker Lake, Nunavut during the second week of November.

Video: Yellowknife, first week of November

The first snow that stuck came late to Yellowknife this year, meaning the first week of November. Looks like there's no way we're going to avoid a white Christmas. Not that I was trying to get away from it by moving up here.
