We had an ice storm before Christmas , no electricity for 300,000 homes around Toronto for several days , some just got power back yesterday ( went out on Dec. 21 ). My power was off for 5 days . Broken trees everywhere , looks like a war zone around here ( my neighborhood , Scarborough - Cliffside was hardest hit in the whole Toronto area) Other than that it has been cold as a witches titty , minus 35 c if you factor in the windchill yesterday, windy as hell and it is going to snow tonight ,maybe up to 10" or so .
