Winter storms plague many Canadian regions

Atlantic Canada is bracing Monday for heavy snowfalls from the same massive weather system that has hammered Ontario and Quebec. The official start to winter may be still three weeks away, but wintry weather is already blasting much of Canada.

"It's going to be a very messy day across a good part of the country," the CBC's Colleen Jones said early Monday.

Many Canadians were still digging themselves out after three weather systems brought snow to much of the country over the weekend, with systems moving up along the Atlantic and Pacific shorelines as well as through Central Canada.

Environment Canada's senior climatologist, David Phillips, remarked Sunday that if Monday were Dec. 25, "we'd have a white Christmas from coast to coast to coast." By Monday's end, Phillips said, snow could be everywhere.

In my opinion, I like the fact that it will snow a lot this year and the snow storms are coming a lot. I like the fact that it has been estimated that this year's Christmas will be a "White Christmas". It is too bad the fact that we have to plow a lot of snow this winter.
