I'm pretty sure that's the same weather system that hit the eastern US Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. It was unseasonably, record-breakingly warm (17° C) on Wednesday, but then a cold front moved in very quickly. It started to rain after midnight, and the wind speed increased drastically. Somewhere between 6 and 6:30 AM, I heard it change from rain to sleet, and then to ice and freezing rain, as the temperature dropped through the freezing point. By 7:30 AM, it was frankly snow - big, fluffy, wet snowflakes, overlaying the solid ice underneath. The snow tapered off around 3 PM, leaving about 15 cm of accumulation. But the temperature stayed below -6° C all day, and the fallen snow froze so that it was impossible to shovel. The high winds persisted until evening.
I think it got above freezing on Friday, but it's now snowing again, although the temperature is about -2° C. Anyway, it's supposed to warm up to maybe 8° C. over the next day or two.
