Blizzard 'Bomb' Wallops Cape Cod, Maine, and Canadian Maritimes

The worst storm to strike the Canadian Maritime provinces as well as Newfoundland in at least 10 years is now underway, with blizzard conditions, winds potentially exceeding 100 miles per hour, and 45 foot waves beginning to batter the region

Halifax, a city in Nova Scotia with about 400,000 residents, was all but shut down on Wednesday, leading to scenes of wind-whipped snow drifting down empty streets. Winds have been recorded above 100 miles per hour off the coast of Maine and Nova Scotia, indicating the force of the fury heading toward Halifax and other parts of Atlantic Canada.
