Two guys I work with are there. St. John's says not fit. Gander a little snowstorm. Some cleanup to do for all. High winds make a mess.

Not from their but know the feeling too well. Makes me want to get a better snowblower.   :oops:
What I've noticed stuff starts breaking caused by windblown snow getting into every crack, crevis roof vent you name it causes damage. 
Usually, you don't even realize it until down the road when ceiling tiles start caving in. This happened to me.
