In Canada, the provinces of Ontario and Quebec bore the brunt of the Arctic blast, which occurs when air pressure drops causing snowfall, strong winds, and freezing temperatures.

Also, according to estimates, hundreds of Canadians in the two provinces will spend Christmas without electricity due to poor weather conditions and difficulty in repair access.

Most parts of the country, from British Columbia to Newfoundland, have been issued warnings of severe cold and winter storms.

Travel problems across the country have worsened due to a shortage of snowplow operators, blamed on low wage rates.

The National Weather Service also said that more than 100 daily records for cold temperatures could be matched or broken in the coming days.
