Thousands of Canadians woke up in the dark on Christmas Day as power outages caused by ferocious winter conditions persisted across Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
A state of emergency continued in southern Ontario's Niagara Region as crews grappled with impassable roads and wildly blowing snow.
Burse said people in the area have pulled together to help one another through the extended blackouts and pick up those who were stuck in their immobilized cars. "There are some ditches that are a little deep, and people have driven right into them because they couldn't see last night, I guess," he said. "Cars are still sitting right in the middle of the road ... it's going to be a couple of days before they get anything going here."
Much of southern Ontario remained blanketed in Environment Canada weather warnings and special weather statements calling for snow squalls and local blowing snow.
