Record snowfalls, flight cancellations, transit delays, and school closures – this weekend’s major winter storm was one to remember.
Environment Canada says Toronto’s Pearson International Airport saw the highest daily total snowfall on record with 46 centimetres on Sunday – making it the snowiest ever month since records began in 1937. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island saw similar snowfall amounts and wind gusts of up to 70 kilometres an hour.
A polar vortex added to the chaos, causing frigid temperatures to blanket parts of the country, with lows near -50 degrees.
Regions of the United States, from New Mexico to New England, also faced the wintry conditions, dealing with downed trees and power outages.
