After experiencing temperatures in the mid-teens on Sunday, March 28, the east central half of the province woke up to a raging blizzard on Monday, March 29.

Environment Canada says that a strong low-pressure system and cold front tracking eastward was to blame.

High winds and snow caused power outages and road closures across the area.It may be officially spring, but March definitely went out like a lion.
