Ice and more Ice / myLot

Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Quebec

February 25, 2016 9:43am CST

I am sure that the weather is the biggest topic of conversation this morning. We have had snow, freezing rain, rain and high winds over the last few hours. Everything is a real mess out there. Our lights flickered off and on several times last evening and then we lost power about the time I was going to bed. The power came on sometime in the night, but according to the radio reports this morning, there are a lot of people who still don't have power. This is not my picture, but the trees in our yard are covered with ice and branches are sagging towards the ground. We are expecting more rain today, then some snow and sounds like the next few days will be the same type of weather. Another day to stay home, thankful I don't have to go out.

We lost power during the night, but I don't think it was for long. Thankfully we have it now. I'm just glad that I dont really have to go out today. It's definitely a good day to stay in.

Just glad that our power came back on. A lot of people are still out. Yes, it is a good day to stay inside. The parking lot and street looks terrible.

It is just plain cold here again but no snow or high winds in sight right now. Hope your weather improves soon.

@Marcyaz We know it will come eventually, and really we haven't had too bad a winter, a lot better than last year.

Although a lovely photo, I know you are eager for warmer weather my friend. It is sunny here but very cold.

Yes it will be nice when the snow and ice is gone, and I can get out for a walk every day.

Winter seems to be a little late in arriving this year but is now in full swing.

@AnneEJ It has been a bit of a crazy winter hasn't it. Too warm at times and then an ice storm.

We had that snow a couple of days ago and it's already melting. However now they are saying more snow on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'm not looking forward to that.

Your weather is very much the opposite to our weather here now. Were now entering our summer season and were having very sunny weather. Like you we also tend to stay indoors or stay in shaded areas to avoid heatstroke.
