Every province and territory in Canada issued an emergency weather warning on Saturday, as winter storms left thousands without power, grounded hundreds of flights and caused the pileup of dozens of cars on a highway in Ontario.
“There were thousands of power outages and the impact was everywhere on the busiest travel time of the year,” Phillips said. Wind chill readings, he said, dipped to minus 50 degrees Celsius, about minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit. Such cold, he added, “freezes flesh in minutes.” “It’s not over yet,” said Philippe Archambault, spokesperson for Hydro-Québec, the public utility that manages electricity across the province. “We still have very strong winds along with really heavy snow.”
Photographs showed the twisted wreckage of cars and trucks along Highway 402. No deaths were reported, but the Ontario Provincial Police closed the highway to traffic on Friday and in a Twitter post warned drivers “not to travel unless necessary.”
