A winter storm that blew through the Prairie provinces is making its way to Ontario and Quebec, with up to 30 centimetres of snow expected to hit some regions, coupled with wind gusts of up to 60 kilometres per hour.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued storm warnings for several prairie regions on Dec. 17, including cities such as Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, and Winnipeg. Snow and high winds caused highway closures and accidents, including a widespread pileup and delay involving 80 to 100 cars near Calgary.
