Big snow up north

I know I've tended to focus on weather across the southern prairies and particularly around Winnipeg, but Rankin Inlet, NU--along the Hudson Bay coast--is getting buried.

I'm writing this at just after 1 PM, and since 5 PM yesterday they have received 37 cm of snow.

Here are the obs:
