VANCOUVER — The woes for travellers stranded by heavy snow at Vancouver's airport have spread across the country and Toronto Pearson International Airport
VANCOUVER — The woes for travellers stranded by heavy snow at Vancouver’s airport have spread across the country and Toronto Pearson International Airport is now advising of an approaching storm that could derail things further.
The Albertos are hardly alone in their plight, and they are closer to home than many other international travellers. “What that will do over the next 48 hours is giving us time to clear through the backlog. We have to prepare for the next new event that’s going to come late Thursday and into Friday,” he said in an interview. Boudreau predicted a “challenging week ahead.”
Steven Flisfeder, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, said Toronto should be mostly clear on Thursday, but the coming storm will start as light rain, snow or a mix, before a cold front arrives later Friday. But over the past five days, the rate dropped to 87.25 per cent, the statement said, citing storms in Ontario and B.C.
The statement from Vancouver International Airport acknowledges that halting international arrivals until two days before Christmas will come as a blow.
