Vancouverites spent their Saturday in what is becoming a familiar ritual: Tallying up the damage from a powerful storm.
Stanley Park, the city's crown jewel, had more trees knocked down by Friday night's windstorm.

While about one dozen were removed from roadways, "there could be very many more that came down in the centre of the park, and we just haven't had an opportunity to determine the damage at this point," Ian Robertson, chair of the Vancouver Park Board, told CTV Vancouver.

About three weeks ago, the park lost up to 3,000 trees from a vicious windstorm (there are an estimated one million trees in the 400-hectare park). Some areas of the park looked like loggers had clear-cut them.

Albany International Airport hit 71 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The temperature at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, was 69 degrees at about 2:30 p.m. In New Jersey, records set in 1950 were broken in Newark, Trenton and Atlantic City.

Snow-weary Colorado was hammered with its third snowstorm in as many weeks, complicating recovery efforts from back-to-back blizzards and raising fears that livestock losses would keep mounting.

Another Pacific storm was expected to bring heavy rain and high-elevation snow to the Cascades on Sunday, while the East Coast was forecast to cool off after record-setting temperatures.

Cold Weather Threatens Citrus Crop

A cold snap predicted in several western states this weekend is expected to lower temperatures in California to the teens, worrying farmers with a citrus crop still hanging on trees.

In the San Joaquin Valley, growers in the middle of the citrus season are firing up huge fans to circulate warm air in the fields and are planning all-night vigils to monitor the health of nearly $1 billion worth of oranges, tangerines and lemons.

Ice storm coating Midwest

Freezing rain coated roads, runways and power lines across the nation's midsection Friday, threatening to cut off electricity and shut down travel for days.

At least four deaths have been blamed on the storm, some schools closed early Friday, and dozens of flights were delayed.

"It could definitely be a paralyzing storm. This is going to be a long-term event," said Max Blood, a senior forecaster with the National Weather Service in Tulsa, where at least two airlines, Southwest and Atlantic Southeast, canceled all afternoon flights.

Winds of up to hurricane force lashed the coast of Western and Southern Norway in the early hours of Sunday morning. Train services to Sweden were stopped.

Fierce winter weather blows into Ontario, Quebec

With temperatures falling, the ice pellets are expected to turn to snow later in the day -- as much as 10 centimetres in some areas.

The icy conditions slowed morning rush-hour traffic to a crawl in many parts of the Toronto area, with even slow-moving cars sliding out of control on smaller highways.

Severe storms hit southern Sweden
