Ice Storm Trees
On April 5th we were hit with an ice storm. While from this photo taken on the 6th it does not appear as though it was very serious, it managed to take out most of the electricity on the Montreal island for the next three days. There are still parts of the island without electricity, and more off the island. I had not power or heat from 3:00 Wednesday afternoon until about 11:00 today (Saturday). This was not nearly as severe as the storm that hit us in 1998, but for some reason it brought down more tree branches and did much more damage to the electrical grid on the island than that storm did. This was taken around the middle of the day and the fog was very thick, something that is very rare here at that hour.
