Buried Drift Extreme Homes Labrador Meeting Merry Newfoundland Occupants Snow Drift
EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image of St. John's, Newfoundland, circa 1930, showcasing the extreme weather conditions that once buried the houses on Merry Meeting Road under towering snow drifts. The quaint Canadian town, located on the eastern tip of Newfoundland and Labrador, is known for its unique architecture and resilient occupants. This photograph, taken during a particularly harsh winter, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the community during this season. The snow-covered road, barely visible beneath the drifts, adds to the sense of isolation and tranquility. The houses, some with their roofs completely buried, stand as testament to the unyielding power of nature. The windows, though obscured by snow, suggest the presence of the homes' occupants, who no doubt faced the challenges of the winter with determination and resourcefulness. The weather in St. John's during this era was notoriously harsh, with heavy snowfall and extreme cold temperatures. The town, situated on the shores of the North Atlantic Ocean, was also subject to frequent storms and high winds. Despite these conditions, the people of St. John's persevered, relying on their strong community bonds and ingenuity to survive. This photograph, with its striking depiction of the snow-buried houses on Merry Meeting Road, offers a glimpse into a bygone era and the resilience of the people of St. John's, Newfoundland. It serves as a reminder of the power and beauty of nature, and the indomitable spirit of those who call this unique place home.
