Severe winter storms have hit Canada, leaving the country under a thick blanket of snow, and tens of thousands of homes without electricity.
Harsh winds and snow storms have been making it really tough for rescue workers to get help to people.
It's thought Canada is facing its first countrywide white Christmas since 1971.
Storm warnings have been issued for several coastal areas, including Quebec and Ontario, as experts say there's more bad weather on the way.
Across the country, roads have been closed and ferries, trains and flights disrupted.
In eastern Canada, tens of thousands of people living around Nova Scotia are reported to be without electricity as the snow continues to fall.
A spokeswoman for one of the electricity companies there, Nova Scotia Power, said: "It's a widespread and severe winter storm and it's not over yet, with these high winds expected to continue for some time."
