A major winter storm disrupted travel plans, closed schools and shuttered city services across Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces Thursday, as communities dug out from upwards of 20 centimetres of snow, with blustery winds and freezing rain forecast to move east.

Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, where several flights were delayed or cancelled, had seen about 26 cm of snowfall by the morning, said Steven Flisfeder, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.

In Quebec, where between between 25 and 40 cm of snow was expected, many school boards had announced closures before the storm even began.{ai:summary}<p>A significant winter storm impacted Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces, leading to travel disruptions, school closures, and halted city services.
