November 25, 2011 — Residents in Newfoundland are dealing with their first real taste of winter. Record breaking snowfall piled up in the province.
2011年11月25日 - 紐芬蘭的居民正在處理他們第一次真正嘗到冬天的味道，破紀錄的降雪堆積在全省。

It's beginning to look a lot like winter in Newfoundland.
紐芬蘭開始看來像了冬天很多。
A storm system has brought significant amounts of snow to the island. In fact, Thursday was a record-breaking day for snowfall in St. John's.
一個風暴系統給島上帶來大量的雪，事實上，週四在聖約翰的降雪是破紀錄的一天。
“At least 29 cm has fallen in the city, and at one point, the snow was falling at a rate of six centimetres per hour,” says Gerald Cheng, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. “That total amount of snow not only breaks the November 24 record, but it also makes this St. John's snowiest November day on record.”
“至少有29厘米降下城中，及在一刻，雪以每小時6厘米的速度下降，”在天氣網的氣象學家杰拉德鄭說，“總雪量不僅打破11月24日的記錄，而且它也做出記錄上聖約翰十一月最多雪的一天。”
The last time the city saw this much snow in November was in 1980, when 25.3 cm fell on the 19th.
上一次該城市在11月看到這許多的雪是在1980年，有25.3厘米在19日降下。
On Thursday, the wintery weather closed schools and prompted officials to pull public transit buses off the road. The early season snow storm also caught some drivers off guard. A tractor-trailer slid off the Trans-Canada Highway near Goobies Thursday morning, but the highway remained open.

Meanwhile,Maritimers are digging out after the same powerful storm swept through on Wednesday. Some places saw up to 40 cm of snow, which forced school cancellations and made driving conditions treacherous.

Winterizing your vehicle is crucial, as well as adjusting your driving habits once conditions deteriorate.
