Snow and extreme cold grips Canada

21 December 2008 No Comment

The entire Canada was being hammered by a variety of weather systems on the first day of winter (December 21), with storms and blowing snow gripping much of provinces of Ontario and Quebec, while wind-chill warnings are in effect through most of the prairies and Western Canada. High winds are forecast throughout Atlantic Canada.

Extreme wind chill warnings remained in effect for large part of the Prairies egion, with temperatures expected to drop as low at -40 C and remain frigid for another four days.

Up to 40 cm of snow was expected in parts of New Brunswick while Prince Edward Island were looking forward to between 20 and 30 cm. Nova Scotia was expected to get off slightly easier with between 15 and 25 cm forecasted in some parts.
