Snow storm pushes into Canada
Published:Saturday | February 15, 2014 | 12:42 PM
A giant winter storm that gridlocked traffic, left flights cancelled, and knocked out power in the United States (US) East Coast has pushed into eastern Canada.
As much as 24 inches was expected to fall in some areas by the end of Friday, blown about by heavy winds, from Quebec to Newfoundland.
Authorities closed a 124 mile section of the Trans-Canada Highway in Quebec.
The storm has been blamed for the deaths of more than two dozen people.
In the US, almost 450,000 people and businesses remained without power in the typically mild southern states yesterday.
