Residents in Newfoundland and much of the Maritimes will be digging out today from a winter storm which seemed to pick up momentum Sunday as it moved eastward.
The storm brought about 15 centimetres of snowfall to Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, with up to 20 centimetres falling over northern and eastern Nova Scotia. By about 5 p.m. Sunday, Environment Canada was reporting that 10 to 20 centimetres had already accumulated over the Avalon Peninsula and south coast, with an additional 15 centimetres expected overnight.

Break as in 3 shifts. People gotta eat. Little known fact that Horton's, being a good community business gives free coffee / pasteries to all emergency services (including snow clearing) and 50% off a meal deal. That's why you often see these vehicles outside Horton's.

A bunch of things:
1. Not all Tim Horton's owners provide either free or discounted products to snow workers
2. I think they mean There are no breaks BETWEEN the shifts like an hour or 2 before the next shift starts, NOT no breaks on shift, which would be illegal. -

Mackey said the city had a full shift on Sunday and planned to keep crews on with no breaks between the shifts until we get things under control.
That must be why I saw five snowplows parked in the Harvey Road Timmy's parking lot at 7pm last night. -

Just because its snowing, do you propose that the equipment operators work without stopping to eat?
I bet that nobody stands over your shoulder and chastises you for taking your lunch break. -
