Snow hits province transport

[Costa Del Fal]

Snow in the Canadian province of Ontario caused traffic chaos on January 16th, CanWest News Service reports.

Many flights were delayed as aeroplanes had to be de-iced, while some areas of the province expected to receive up to 150 millimetres (six inches) of snow.

School children had a day off from lessons school as buses could not use the roads and temperatures are thought to dip to minus 16 degrees Celsius.

"It's going to look like winter and it's going to feel like winter," commented David Phillips, a senior climatologist with Environment Canada.

"It will be a sobering reminder that we do live in the second-coldest country in the world."
