I'm sure we've gotten 30cm of snow in a week many times in the last decade, but getting it in a 24 hour period (or even like 18 hours) is really quite a big more problematic.
Maybe. Typically, the snowiest month in Kitchener is January, with an average of 47 cm. Works out to 10.6 cm per week. We'd need 3 weeks worth of snow to get 30 cm in one week. But I am sure its happened.
And 30cm in a week would never has caused these problems because it would never be enough in just one day to be more than a tram could handle by simply driving the route, even if some did end up on the tracks thanks to a careless snow plow operator.
