Canada could see first white Christmas in nearly 40 years
Toronto - With just three days left until Christmas Day, it's looking more like most regions in Canada will have a white Christmas this year, the first coast-to-coast one in nearly 40 years.
Toronto received 33 centimetres of snow since Tuesday, and now, it's the rest of the country's turn.
From Vancouver to the Prairies, and Halifax to PEI, snow is bombarding Canada, giving Canadians a country-wide white Christmas for the first time since 1971.
680News meteorologist Jill Taylor told 680News that in Toronto they will have to brace themselves for round three, with another storm brewing for Tuesday afternoon, bringing with it five to 10 centimetres.
"Some areas may even have what we call a perfect Christmas, with one centimetre of accumulated snowfall actually coming down on the 25th," Taylor said.
In a usually balmy Vancouver, 20 centimetres hammered the city on Sunday, and out east in Halifax, 15 centimetres fell. There are 30,000 people without power in Nova Scotia.
In the aftermath of the snowy weekend, the airport is still experiencing dozens of delays and cancellations.
