The Northeast winter storms.

I guess BA is somewhere in the middle of that. We aren't getting snow...but it sure has been COLD! I've spent the weekend in sweats and socks. I know most airline flights were canceled over the weekend.

Did this also effect Canada?

From the weather site:
Blizzard warnings remain posted from New York City to Boston this morning as a powerful Nor'easter slams the Northeast with heavy snow and high winds. New York City already has seen over a foot of snow with as much as a foot and half likely before the storm winds down this evening. In Boston, 10 to 15 inches are forecast with more in the western suburbs. Drifting and blowing snow will make travel difficult if not impossible in many areas from Philadelphia to southern Maine over the next several hours.

The snow is tapering off in Washington, D. C., now after dropping around 8 inches on the city. Baltimore got almost a foot, but the snowfall is slackening there also. Philadelphia has a foot on the ground with more expected over the next couple of hours before the snowfall diminishes this afternoon.

The greatest snowfall totals so far have been reported from northern Maryland (Columbia, 21.3") and York County, Pa. (Shrewsbury, 18.5").
