US EditionAlectra continues power restoration in wake of weekend's devastating freezing rain and ice storm
- On March 29, 2025, an ice storm pummels parts of Ontario and five states in the U.S., prompting weather warnings from the National Weather Service and Environment Canada.
- Environment Canada issued freezing rain warnings beginning on the northwestern shore of Lake Huron, while the National Weather Service also issued weather warnings.
- The storm, expected to expand and move towards Ottawa and Montreal, may cause slippery surfaces, broken tree branches, and power outages, with ice accumulation potentially reaching 25-40 millimetres in some areas.
- Authorities are urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel due to icy conditions on roads, bridges, and overpasses, while power companies prepare for potential outages, some of which could last for days, especially in rural or heavily wooded areas.
- Approximately 35,000 Hydro One customers in Ontario, particularly in cottage country areas like Tobermory, Parry Sound, Peterborough, and Orillia, are without power, and similar impacts with snow, sleet, and ice accumulations are expected across Michigan, Wisconsin, Vermont and New York.
