As of 930 pm our island has full power supply restored.
Both cable ferries are operating normally.
There is an eerie dead calm outside at the moment.
We are only one branch or tree falling away from loosing power again.
Frankly I lay blame to a lot of the power outages to home / property owners who see trees as part of the quaint rustic scenery and not as a guillotine waiting to cut their power off.
We spent $8,000 at work this year on tree trimming along power line corridors and have not seen any limbs over lines whatsoever.
People need to take a new look at what the scope of effect of an ice laden tree can be.
Either that or sort out their own alternative power supply.
Hydro One sent a line crew and staff out very quickly and they worked all day restoring power.
We won't start snow removal until the morning when the freezing rain has finally stopped.
Rob, glad to hear you are warm as usual!
