An alkali blizzard white-washed the ground, buildings, and trees around Chaplin, SK, insulating antennae and in the process silencing a large number of radios. The alkali came from the chalky shores of Lake Chaplin. The air remained so heavy with the white powder that, during early evening, lights from vehicles cast a glare similar to that cast in winter blizzards. 1, record 1, English, - alkali%20blizzard

Le plus souvent, il y fait beau : les vents qui passent les Rocheuses se sont épanchés sur les versants occidentaux. Mais lorsque souffle la bise du nord, parfois tôt dans l'automne et tard au printemps, elle peut amener un blizzard chargé de neige pulvérulente qui couvre la région en quelques heures. 3, record 1, French, - blizzard%20charg%C3%A9%20d%27alcalis
