As another ice storm heads our way, here’s a little reminder of what happened last time: https://heliomass.com/posts/102-an-ice-storm-retrospective/

Re: #snow, #montreal, #QCstorm

How it’s going:

I walked the dog earlier and within 400m I had already met on the sidewalks:

• a lady cross-country skiing
• a couple with snow shoes

I told them I was jealous, the snow was like 25-30cm deep. #QCStorm #Montreal

The Windsor-Quebec City corridor got hit with two winter storms in 4 days -- some areas have received 60+cm of snow, with drifts over a meter.

If you've got cabin fever, bundle up and check on neighbours! Check to make sure they've got heat and are stocked up on food.

Heat pumps work by circulating air -- if they're blocked by snow drifts, they don't work as well.

Also, make sure exhausts from dryers and high-efficiency gas furnaces aren't covered by snow.

Frost advisories for Tuesday morning in parts of Ontario and Quebec with forecast lows in the shaded gray area down to around 0.

Pretty stormy today in New York, Ontario, and Quebec with low pressure up near the Hudson Bay.

Here come the storms!

Good storm. 4 stars. Would experience again.

This weather is depressing. Here are some more uplifting photos from earlier today.

I see several small trees down this morning. Was the sticky overnight snow that heavy?

I wasn't too worried about the 30cm of snow that were originally forecasted, but the prospect of another Ice Storm like the one we had last spring is making me pretty down.

Already double checking my UPSs and charging my battery banks.

So, a friend is supposed to pick her kids up at #YUL from a flight overseas... and just found out that they're closing the airport due to incoming thunderstorms.

This #onstorm looks nasty. I don't recall seeing turquoise in the radar before. The bulk of it seems to be missing me. #qcstorm

Another #tornado touched down today, this time in #Mirabel, a suburb of #Montreal. Currently damage and injuries are unknown, hopefully there weren't any major damage or injuries.

Buses are understandably taking a hit in this weather. Lots of flooding on the streets and even on the platforms at Rosemont station. Laurier station entrance was packed with people taking shelter from the storm. Losing count of the number of storm cells which have passed through so far! #Montreal #QCStorm
