More than a quarter of a million customers remain without electricity in Quebec today as the impact of high winds and freezing rain continues to be felt.
Hydro-Quebec reported 255,000 customers were without power as of 9 a.m., largely centred in the Laval, Lanaudiere and Laurentians regions north of the city.
Hydro-Quebec says one the most affected regions was Laval, just north of Montreal, where about 40 per cent of customers remained without power a day after the storm.
