Well, that was quite the storm cell.

Decent rainbow after the drama though. 🌈

I swear somethings up with weather prediction this year. I headed out for a walk / shopping an hour ago, and although I could see some distant clouds which looked threatening there were no weather watches or warnings and no forecasted precipitation.

Fast forward to 15 minutes ago and suddenly there's both a thunderstorm and squall warning from Environment Canada, at which point the heavens opened and the thunder sounded.

More fool me for getting REM’d this morning.

The three stations between Édouard-Montpetit and Gare Centrale are functionally an important part of the Metro network at this juncture.

So, I ended up taking the long way around the mountain, which was about as much time as I’d have had to wait for the REM to restore service in the end (~25 minutes).

Not sure what my point is here 🤔

#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.

🥶 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

#Organize

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.

#ONstorm #QCstorm

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

Would you like a side portion of storms with your storms, followed by storms for desert?

#Montreal #QCStorm

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

Here come the storms!

#Montreal #QCStorm

Snow storm in April sure is something...
#qcstorm

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

#Montreal #QCStorm

Check out the Arctic blast coming for Ontario and Quebec over the next 48 hours. #Montréal is going to go from around 13°C Wednesday afternoon to around -13°C Thursday morning.

Latest forecast from Environment #Canada states "Snow and ice pellet amount 10 to 15 cm." With winds "...20 km/h gusting to 40 increasing to 40 gusting to 70 this evening".

A good opportunity to remind folks to invest in good surge protectors and a UPS, and to verify your backups. Last ice storm knocked out my NAS, and I only just have everything back to the way it was.

#QCStorm

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.

@ai6yr Soils in New England and adjacent parts of Canada are already near saturation. Flooding, like you say, is the main threat but saturated soils also make it easy for trees to fall over in what might generally be considered benign wind speeds.

Sorry for the million hashtags to follow there’s lots of little states here.

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.

#QCstorm #MTL

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.

The sky is dark, and it looks like a car wash outside here in #montreal east. Electricity is flickering. Glad I bought that generator during the ice storm earlier this year.

Kind of getting exhausted of this extreme weather and I don't think we'll be seeing any less of it.

Repeated information for every tiny little town...
"Kangiqsujuaq - Raglan Lake" "Quaqtaq" "etc. etc. and all with "Strong easterly winds reaching up to 90 kilometres per hour are expected Wednesday afternoon. Winds will gradually diminish in the evening. ### Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #qcstorm "

Still no power here. Seeing power come back slowly through greater Montreal on the outage map, but the West Island is still hit pretty hard.

Today in 1998, the Great Ice Storm begins to hit Ontario and Quebec.
The storm causes $7 billion in damages, leaves 4 million without power and results in 28 deaths in Canada.
It results in the largest deployment of Canadian troops since the Korean War, who are deployed to help
