Country Used to Snow Panics When It Sees It

It's not "climate change".

It's winter:

In places like Windsor, Ont., where a blizzard warning was in effect Friday evening, Kimbell said the worst was likely over — though blowing snow was expected to continue. But in parts of Quebec, he said, the worst may be yet to come.

“The very southwestern part of Ontario, the worst is gone, but it’s going to continue to be nasty for some time, for another 12 hours or so. In places like the Eastern Townships of Quebec, no, the worst hasn’t even started yet. It’s about to start any time now,” he said late Friday afternoon.

The number of power outages across Quebec rose steadily for much of the day, with winds reaching 100 kilometres per hour in some parts of the province, snapping power lines and downing trees. By 5 p.m., the number of Hydro-Quebec customers without power had declined slightly to around 340,000, including more than 80,000 customers in the Quebec City area.
