(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 22, 2013: DTN News reports about 350,000 customers across southern Ontario were without electricity after a massive weather system coated the landscape in ice, including about 250,000 in the Greater Toronto Area, where it could take up to three days to get everyone reconnected.
In the meantime, Toronto Hydro has asked those who have electricity service to "share the power" and consider inviting neighbours inside.
The City of Toronto has also opened a number of warming stations, which can be found at www.toronto.ca.
"All available resources have been deployed and crews are working as quickly as possible to restore power," said Toronto Hydro in a statement on Sunday.
The weather conditions have also resulted in scores of flight cancellations and delays at airports in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Fredericton, Saint John, Halifax and St. John’s.
Passengers are being advised to check their flights before heading to the airport. Find updates for Pearson International Airport here.
