Power outages and school closures as heavy snowfall hits Quebec

Quebec is currently facing a significant weather challenge as heavy snowfall continues to impact the province, causing power outages and leading to numerous school closures. Over a quarter of a million homes are without electricity, and the situation is being addressed urgently by Hydro - Quebec.

The impact of snowfall

As of 7:30 a.m., Hydro - Quebec reported that 275,168 households are without power due to the adverse weather conditions. The most affected regions include the Laurentians, with 86,096 households without electricity, Montreal with 77,589, and the Montérégie with 36,026. The cause of the power outages has been attributed to strong gusts of wind and the weight of snow - laden branches bringing down power lines. Hydro - Quebec has mobilized all available crews to restore power as quickly as possible. For public safety, Hydro - Quebec has issued a warning against approaching downed power lines and advises the public to call 911 to secure any affected areas. Meteorologists anticipate up to 20 centimeters of snow in Montreal before the system passes, though a warm - up expected over the weekend should begin to melt the snow. Additionally, Hydro - Quebec has issued a safety warning against using outdoor heating and lighting equipment indoors, highlighting the risk of asphyxiation or poisoning from the use of such devices in enclosed spaces.

School and other closures

The severe weather has also led to the closure of several educational institutions across Quebec, including multiple Centre de services scolaires, the Lester B. Pearson School Board, and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, among others. Daycares and additional educational facilities have also announced closures due to the snowfall, impacting thousands of students and parents.

Historical context and moving forward

The occurrence of snow in April is not unprecedented in Montreal. According to CTV News' Lori Graham, the city usually receives around 13 cm of snow during April, with the record for the highest one - day snowfall standing at 33.9 cm on April 9, 2000. This historical perspective offers some solace in knowing that the region is capable of handling such weather events, although the immediate impacts on daily life and safety concerns remain pressing.
