Thousands of residents all over Eastern Ontario and West Quebec woke up without power Wednesday.
A day of freezing rain followed by a night of damp snow, causing branches to break on power lines.
Hundreds of Ottawa customers were restored overnight, including about 1,500 in Glocuester, Cumberland and Osgoode. But a scattering of outages remain in the city of Ottawa, including almost 500 customers downtown who are not expected to see their electricity restored until about 12:30 p.m.
A powerline was toppled on Lewis Street near O’Connor Street, which was closed, including the bike lane, between Gilmour Street and Waverley Street.
About 450 other customers in the Gloucester-South Nepean and Knoxdale-Merivale areas were also without power. These customers can expect to see their electricity restored by 10 a.m.
Pockets of power outages in Ottawa Wednesday morning
More than 11,600 Hydro One customers have lost power, as well as about 23,000 Hydro-Québec customers in the Outaouais. In total, 66,000 Hydro-Québec customers across the province are without power.
More than 20,000 customers remained without power in Quebec Wednesday morning, mostly in the Outaouais and Laurentians
Eastern Ontario regions without power Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, traffic was reported to be slower, but with no major problems on the morning commute, as drivers seemed to bne able to cope with the slushy conditions.
While hydro crews work to repair the damage, Environment Canada is reporting that after a morning for freezing drizzle, things will returning to normal — for January, that is.
Expect two to four cm of snow today, with snow end over night, and winds gusting up to 70 km/ around midnight.
And then we’ll head into the deep freeze, with night time temperatures dropping throughout the week from -12 C Wednesday night. The predicted low on Sunday night is -23 C.
