Lambton's 2010 Snow Emergency
On December 12th in 2010 a massive snow event gripped significant portions of Lambton and surrounding areas stranding over 1,500 motorists along Highway 402 and other roadways. Snowmageddon as it is known brought communities to a standstill all while increasing the resources needed to respond. The County of Lambton declared a State of Emergency, supporting a request by Lambton OPP regarding the deployment of Canadian military to undertake rescue flights.
