Chartering a New Course for Local Spirits: the Roué Beverage Company | SaltWire #novascotia #drinkSYDNEY - Cape Breton Regional Municipality officials say they have received approval on an emergency basis to dump snow in the Sydney harbour.

A snowplow blows snow into a dump truck bucket on Charlotte Street in Sydney on Saturday. By day's end, most of the street and its sidewalks were completely free of snow. LUKE DYMENT/CAPE BRETON POST “There is a lot of traffic down there,” Phalen said. “Anybody that’s travelling in the downtown area for the next couple of days, it will be hard for them to get around.”

Following reports of partial roof collapses in Cape Breton after the snowstorm — and snow from the roof of a Sydney senior home— snow on the tops of houses and buildings has been causing a variety of issues.
