Travel screeched to a halt across southern Quebec in late-March 2001 after an unusually late snowstorm hit the region. #QCstorm #MeteoQC www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
Though I didn't lose power in the #QCstorm last week, the ice aftermath on my steps was a good 2cm of smooth, slippery death. It took a god hour to chip away at the full staircase.
Note to self, get some grit and ask landlord to supply a grit bin for the building...

A detailed map showing areas without hydro power around a body of water, with numbered locations and red lightning bolt icons indicating specific points of interest or alerts.
#Montreal hydro outages during ice storm are pretty localized and spread out at the moment.
Worst hit are St Lambert, West Island and Concordia-McGill downtown core. #qcstorm
Power outages are on the rise in Quebec as a potent ice storm brings significant freezing rain and ice buildup into Thursday. Expect more disruptions to surface once the event ends and the cleanup begins. #QCstorm #MeteoQC

Yay power is back exactly 3h later. It turned out to be a local outage caused by a tree falling on the cables, so it was easy and quick to fix.
Not that a power outage stopped me from gaming!
(still glad power's back, getting frosty in here ☃️)

Eastern Ontario and Quebec precipitation reports as of Wednesday afternoon. #onstorm #ONwx #QCstorm #MeteoQC
Ice storm prep for a physicist: food, caffeine, charged devices, and git pulled remote repositories.

If Environment Canada says to cancel all non-essential travel and stay indoors, and you decide instead to go for a jog, you deserve whatever the hell you get 🥶 #QCstorm
Power glitches already.
I’m expecting the worst.

The freezing rain front is about to hit #Montreal and #Ottawa just in time for morning rush hour.
Good thing that all the schools & colleges here are closed!
A significant ice storm is forecast for southern Quebec, bringing 15-30+ mm of freezing rain. The storm will also carry the threat of damaging, high winds, which could lead to long-lasting power outages, along with dangerous travel. #QCstorm #MeteoQC www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

When I was in Nashville last week, I came across many properties with piles of downed trees and branches at curbside from the major ice storm in January. Will be ongoing for a while. Hopefully eastern Ontario and Quebec won't have to deal with this kind of long cleanup. #TNwx #ONstorm #QCstorm
#Montreal ice storm: What will be open, closed and disrupted
#REM to close.
“All public Montreal-area elementary and high schools will be closed Wednesday, the 20 English-language school boards and French-language school service centres announced on Tuesday.
#Concordia & #McGill will also be […]
This was certainly a close call for Orillia. Here's a look at the projected freezing rain totals for Ontario and Quebec, and a zoomed-in map of southern Quebec and Montreal. #ONstorm #ONwx #QCstorm #MeteoQC
Covering your car with a tarp, plastic sheet or picnic table cover can make getting into your car easier. Weighting down a tarp or plastic sheet on the stairs will make getting down stairs safer. #ONStorm #QCStorm 5 gallon pails are an economical way to store water if on a well. #BePrepared #Storms
Major freezing rain event looms for Ontario and Quebec, with conditions alarmingly similar to past, historic ice storms. Will it be more impactful than previous events? What we are expecting, & comparisons to 2025, 2023 and 2013 ice storms. #ONstorm #QCstorm www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
This is how close my partner's car was to becoming a metal pancake in the last major ice storm of April 2023. Half a tree literally booped his car.
#Montreal #QCstorm
In addition to a little prep, maybe consider parking your car away from trees tonight and tomorrow!
#Montreal #QCstorm
I think it is the first orange alert!
Fingers crossed the trees can handle the extra weight and the power stays on for most!
#Montreal #QCstorm
I think this is the first time we’ve experienced an orange alert under the new system?
Hope this one won’t be as bad as the one two years ago, but just in case we have the candles ready for those extra-cosy power cut vibes.

#ONstorm #QCstorm ice storm update. 5-20+ mm of freezing rain, with the chance of up to locally 30+ mm. Note: Not all freezing rain will accrete or build on surfaces, as winds, rate of precipitation and surfaces all are taken into consideration when determining ice accretion.
Ottawa and Montreal should pay particular close attention to the forecast over the coming days, as a major weather event is possible. Models continue to argue about temperatures, which is critical for determining the risk of freezing rain, so check back regularly. #ONstorm #QCstorm
