You live in Quebec City, don't you Andre? How bad was the ice storm of a fewNothing special happened in Quebec City. Ice began about 30 km south. I followed this incredible thing on TV as if this nearby Black Triangle was from another planet.
years ago for you? My ex-wife's family lives in St. Bruno, southeast of
Montreal. That was in the "Black Triangle", and they were without power for over a week - although some areas of the Triangle went about a month without
electricity. The freezing rain kept falling and falling, and the hydro crews
would repair downed wires, only to have them come down a couple of hours later.
St-Bruno was badly hit. Some places got 100mm of ice, that is 4 inches! A good map of this natural and dramatic happening:

OTOH, despite the obvious dangers, there's a beauty to having a world covered in ice, so you may have some photo ops...I found a small book with many impressive b&w photos. I have not found any of them on the web yet.
Maybe some poetry...
