| Comments | Québec, December 21-26, 2013. A severe winter storm that formed over the Great Lakes region in Ontario tracked into Québec bringing a mix of freezing rain, ice pellets and snow. The Eastern Townships region of the province was particularly impacted and at its peak, an estimated 51,000 Hydro Québec customers were without power (153,000 individuals). The storm is attributed with the deaths of six people due to a mix of carbon monoxide poisoning and traffic accidents throughout the province. Power was fully restored to all customers by December 26, 2013. |
