Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: 25-foot high drifts cover most of the 50 houses on Fort Erie's Edgemere Rd.; which runs parallel to Lake Erie. In some cases; only rooftops and chimneys are visible above the drifts that were built up by gale-force winds and heavy weekend snowfalls. Some residents emerged from their homes yesterday for the first time since Friday. Mark Repa walks down a roof-high drift yesterday on Edgemere Rd.
