Boxing Day
Boxing Day, December 26, is the day after Christmas.
It is a statutory holiday in Canada. It is a holiday in the U.S., but not a statutory holiday.
In both countries, it is when most stores have big "Boxing Day" sales.
No one know why it's called "Boxing Day". It might be because everyone has a lot of empty boxes from Christmas presents.

Ice storm
When it rains and then the temperature drops to below zero, and the rain freezes, you have an ice storm.
Pretty to look at, but bad to drive in.
Also, the ice on the trees causes branches to fall and pull down electrical wires.
