CHATHAM, Ont.—A quick errand to Walmart turned into an overnight adventure for dozens of shoppers in southern Ontario when whiteout conditions meant they couldn’t leave the store, and employees pumped up air mattresses and set up a buffet with deli food for the unexpected guests.
“The cars were in ditches. Some of them were broken down in the middle of the road. No one could get past,” said Heather Nickoli about the conditions in Chatham−Kent, Ont., on Friday afternoon.
