well just last week in my part of ontario we got a huge storm. 60 centimeters of snow (somewhere around 30 inches i think or 2 feet) and for weeks its been consistently around -10 degrees celsius. We had massive trees and power lines down all over the place, and a city wide snowday for students(the first city wide snowday since the storm in '95 when the army was called in to help) Everywhere you looked there were trees down and many people didnt get power for 3 days. and the power went out a number of times.
