Here in Toronto we've had a few really significant snow storms instead of freezing rain (a month's worth of snow in less than a week). But now, it's been quite warm for the last couple days with non-stop rain so most of the snow has disappeared. Weird weather all around I guess... I certainly didn't ask Santa for this.
I saw stories on the news about your ice storm... From what I heard, Quebec sent some utility crews to help with some power problems in the States. They are well experienced because there was a massive ice storm in Quebec and eastern Ontario a few years ago (1998).
