Strong winds, heavy snow, and freezing rain continue to batter Canada on Christmas Eve to start the long holiday weekend, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity, and passengers stranded on trains for over 18 hours.
The storm that closed schools, disrupted travel plans, and cut power to hundreds of thousands of homes in B.C., Ontario, and Quebec on Dec. 23 will still be around today, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
