Abstract
Various type of winter storms occur over Canada and produce major impacts on society. Canada is subjected to extra‐tropical cyclones with all their embedded structures, as well as blizzards, mountain‐induced storms, lake effect storms and polar lows. Many of these storms are accompanied by heavy precipitation in the form of snow or freezing precipitation, bitterly cold conditions, strong winds, and blowing snow. The occurrence and nature of these storms are discussed in this review article.Keywords
