The GTA and eastern Canada are in the grip of a massive weather system which is causing transit chaos and widespread power outages which could run into Christmas Day.

Toronto Hydro is working to restore power to more than 250,000 homes and businesses in the city and said the blackouts could last 72 hours or longer.

Thousands more in the rest of the GTA also lost power when ice-coated tree branches snapped and pulled down power lines.

At a news conference on Sunday, Toronto Hydro CEO Anthony Haines called the storm a “weather catastrophe” — worse than the ice storm in Ontario in January 1998.

He said Sunnybrook and Toronto East General hospitals have no electricity and are running on emergency generators, and a water pumping station has also lost power.

Mayor Rob Ford and staff from the city’s emergency operation centre will speak to the media at 1:30 p.m. at Metro Hall.

Meanwhile, crews are bracing for more damage with another bout of freezing rain and windy weather forecast for Sunday afternoon.

Environment Canada said the rain would continue into the afternoon in southern and eastern Ontario, including the GTA and Hamilton, before changing to drizzle.

The area could get 10-15 millimetres of freezing rain on Sunday and winds gusting to between 30 and 50 km/h.

Service on all of Toronto’s streetcar routes, the Sheppard and Scarborough RT has been suspended. Trains were also bypassing several subway stations due to lack of power and, in other cases, downed trees blocked their paths.

GO Transit has restored some power to the Lakeshore East line, but not the Oshawa, Pickering and Scarborough stations, which remain inaccessible. It said the rest of the train and bus system is experiencing “major delays.”

Salting and sanding crews worked through the night in an uphill battle against a dangerous mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain affecting an area from Niagara Falls, Ont., to the Atlantic Coast.

The weather conditions are suspected to have been a factor in three fatal highway accidents in Quebec Saturday, and another in Ontario.

Provincial police are strongly advising people not to drive unless absolutely necessary.

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.

As the storm continues its eastward march Environment Canada meteorologist Weiqing Zhang says it will likely be sometime this afternoon before it leaves central Canada and sometime this evening before freezing rain stops falling on the Maritimes.

TIPS DURING A POWER OUTAGE

During an outage:

Unplug or turn off all appliances to avoid possible damage when power resumes.
Turn off water to the clothes washer and dishwasher if they are in use when the power goes out.
Leave a light or radio on so you will know when power is restored.
When power has been restored, check all fuses to ensure that none have been blown, before calling Toronto Hydro.
Plug in only the most essential appliances first, and wait 10 to 15 minutes to give the electrical system time to stabilize before connecting everything else.
How to report a power outage:

Call Toronto Hydro-Electric System’s Lights Out number at 416-542-8000. Add the number to your list of other emergency numbers.
After power is restored, try to limit electricity use to help relieve potential strain on the system. Energy conservation tips include:

Turning off all non-essential internal and external lights
Limiting the use of major power-consuming equipment such as dishwashers, washers and dryers.

蒙城也在下冰雨，估计也有不少户断电的吧？

下了几天的冰雨，路面很滑，早上准备铲冰时差点摔倒。大家走路或开车还是多注意安全，慢点走，慢点开啊

老金，能不能把多伦多受影响的区域发上来啊。今早的CCTV已经迫不及待的播报了多伦多人民生活在水深火热的新闻，而且还现场连线了几位在多伦多的中国人，零下10度，停电，暖气炉无法点燃，已经冻伤，需要救援，居然有人给使馆打电话了？！

我上周就发天气预报，没人在意，早知道储备点煤球炉子啊。

听说10几年前魁北克连续几十天停电，就是冻雨闹的

catcat

这令我想起了2008年中国的雪灾。

我家停电40小时，停网48小时，室内11度，快扛不住的时候来电来暖了，现在一切安好。
FINCH那一片，据说要周六才来电
那边的亲现在日子很难熬

这两天出门，HIGHWAY7 数十个红绿灯停电，大家都按停牌处理，非常有序，感动
晚上不得已出去一趟，好几里地黑乎乎一片，
到了十字路口大家都自觉线外停牌，没见一个交警指挥，有序通行……

还有很多人家现在还在挨冻
很多人家只靠火锅做饭烧水，那种带个小气罐
整个多伦多已经买不到火锅了

谁给公布几个 warm center的地址，也许有人能用上

昨天我快扛不住的时候，只想着怎么才能获得这warm center的地址，还好就来电了。

响应号召。不过很担心没电的朋友们怎么上网看到这些。这个时候可能能上网的3G/4G设备和移动电源就派上用场了。

澳亚MM也上来了
能上来的情况应该都有好转

这边很多人家有室外BBQ炉，配一个天然气罐的那种，我觉得停电时可以把它搬进室内烧水做饭。 水烧热后灌热水袋或者塑料瓶里放被窝里取暖。
