A major winter storm is bearing down on Quebec just in time for the holidays, resulting in widespread power outages, road collisions, school closures and travel delays.

Hydro-Québec reported nearly 350,000 customers in the dark across the province as of 3:30 p.m. Friday, amid widespread electrical failures.

The Outaouais, Laurentians and Quebec City regions are the hardest hit and the public utility is working to restore electricity as quickly as possible.

Environment Canada has issued a mix of warnings for much of the southern half of the province. Many areas are expected to receive a messy cocktail of heavy snow, rain and strong winds, while some areas could see freezing rain.
