A massive winter storm that descended on southern Ontario moved into Quebec and the Maritimes. The storm closed schools throughout the region and shuttered many businesses for the day. Airports in Fredericton, Halifax and Charlottetown reported dozens of flight cancellations. Quebec was under a winter storm warning after about 30 cm of snow fell in Montreal, which forced the closure of schools and caused a multitude of travel hiccups. Nova Scotia is expected to get 15 to 25 centimetres of snow and strong winds. In B.C., some residents had to dig out after about 60 centimetres fell in some areas on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.
