On this episode of Global National: People in Ontario and Quebec are trying to dig themselves out of a severe snowstorm that's wreaked havoc on the roads, while also bringing a snow day for children. Mike Drolet and Mike Armstrong report on how the blizzard kept snow plows busy, how the storm was unusual, how it brought out kindness in strangers and how kids made the most out of a day off school.

Meanwhile, Health Canada has now approved Paxlovid, the antiviral medication from Pfizer, to treat people with COVID-19. Abigail Bimman looks at what's known so far about the drug and who's being prioritized to receive it.
