Major snowfall disrupted travel plans, closed schools and shuttered city services in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces Thursday, as communities dug out from upwards of 20 centimetres and the storm headed deeper into Eastern Canada.
Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, where several flights were delayed or cancelled, had seen about 26 centimetres of snowfall by the morning, said Steven Flisfeder, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.
