'I've lived here 50 years and no, we've never had anything like this,' deputy mayor says
Another winter blizzard is hitting Churchill, where people are already desperate for groceries that have been delayed since the last blizzard two weeks ago.
"A lot of families are suffering because they have young children and they need milk," said local resident Lana Bilenduke.
No bread or vegetables are for sale at the local store and meat is scarce, she said.
"Everyone's in a crisis until we get our groceries in."
The northern Manitoba town is in the midst of near-zero visibility, wind gusts of 90 km/h and wind chill values in the 40s due to an intense low pressure system over Hudson Bay, according to Environment Canada.
The blizzard conditions should ease late this afternoon or early this evening.
The forecast calls for five more centimetres of snow, on top of the 60 cm that fell over three days during the previous blizzard. The town has been under a local state of emergency since then.

These people need to watch “Life Below Zero” to stock up on meat and fish for the winter.
People live in a out of the way place and they don’t have month supply of food on hand at all times get real.
They live in a small town in bloody Manitoba and they don’t have enough sense to keep a couple of months of food stocked up?
This is why I advocate having at least 6 months food in the house.A oood generator is a plus too.
We need to take responsibility for our own safety and well being.
Gorebull warming brings terror and hardship again during this warm/hot winter.
IIRC there are basically no roads between Churchill and "civilization" so supplies have to be flown in.Also,IIRC Churchill was mentioned in "Ice Road Truckers",a cable TV series here in the States a few years ago.
What a tough place to live.
The Man-Caused Global Climate Warming was so thick you needed a snow shovel to get the front door opened.
.
No milk and vegetables will toughen up those children...
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?
From what I’ve read the only way in and out of this town for commodities and people is via air or the choo-choo train.
BIG GOVERNMENT RAIL then would appear to be the culprit.
Note to Polar Bears. The tundra buggy is not the place to beg for food.
I’m don’t really know what they use to shoot polar bears, but .303 would seem to be the minimum. The professional hunters in Africa recommend the largest caliber gun you can physically handle for larger sized dangerous game. Polar bears are so aggressive I’m not going out to look for one even if I make it to the great white north.
“Wimmins and chilluns hardest hit” ....Wow they live in Canada too...probably why they elected Trudeau...oh my.
Last season on Life Below Zero they were complaining bout last few winters much warmer than normal an blamed climate change...now its colder than normal...climate change...don’t know bout you bozos...but I will still with calling it WEATHER...

However, the polar bears consider it people season.
sounds almost like Venzuala except for the snow
No backup food/necessities in case, you know ....

That is really bad when most front doors swing inside.
