We are experiencing strong winds, freezing temperatures, and snow here in Vancouver. And it looks like the UK has its own weather troubles as people are without power, and strong winds have caused one death.

A total of 80,000 homes across Wales were left without electricity and Western Power Distribution battled to reconnect damaged lines.

The company says 40,000 homes now have their power restored and engineers have been drafted in from England to help.
