After all this time almost everyone has had power restored. Kudos to the Hydro crews that responded from Michigan, Winnipeg etc. They gave up their Christmas to help. I feel bad for people having no heat in -20C temperatures for more than a week.
Jim Wiehe has kindly received permission for me to post this photo of a J Class C-130 at CFB Trenton. Apparently there were eight of these with their noses in the air from the weight of the ice on the tail. One was elevated eight feet. Now they will have to be stress tested to see if they can fly.
