Significant amounts of snowfall and high winds are likely to hit areas of northern Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes over the next several days, according to a weather advisory from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
The storm originated in the United States and is expected to dump 30 to 60 centimeters of snow in northeastern Ontario between Nov. 26 and 28, along with 10 to 20 centimeters in northwestern Ontario, before hitting a large portion of northern Quebec with 10 to 30 centimeters as well as areas of the Maritimes with 10 to 20 centimeters, according to ECCC meteorologist Gerald Cheng.
“This winter storm is already wreaking havoc in northern Ontario, already snow is falling for many parts and some routes are already closed,” Cheng said during a Nov. 26 briefing, adding that high winds up to 90 kilometres per hour are projected around the northeastern shores of Lake Ontario and for Lake Erie, as well as winds up to 80 kilometres per hour in the Greater Toronto Area….
