From this morning's Chronicle Herald:
'The infamous Cobequid Pass, a rolling stretch of highway in northern Nova Scotia, was closed for about an hour Tuesday as a spring snowstorm descended on the Maritimes, creating an infuriating traffic jam that left more than 150 vehicles stranded.
Just after 2 p.m., amid whiteout conditions, about 15 vehicles were reportedly stuck in the ditch as tractor-trailers spun their wheels on the unplowed westbound lanes near Glenholme.
The lanes were reopened to traffic about an hour later, but the leftover mess — a 10-kilometre line of vehicles — wasn’t clear until 4 p.m.'
