Hello Canada – Tens of thousands of Ontario residents were without power due to a snowstorm that hit parts of the province<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydro One data shows nearly 50,000 customers were in the dark on Saturday due to power outages concentrated in rural areas, from Tobermory and Parry Sound to Peterborough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Environment Canada has issued freezing rain warnings for large swaths of Ontario and Quebec, starting from the northwest shore of Lake Huron<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although parts of central and southern Ontario have already been affected, the storm is expected to expand on Sunday, heading toward Ottawa and Montreal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Orillia, the heart of rural Ontario, the National Weather Service says up to 25 mm of snow could accumulate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city is among the areas affected by the power outage, and the public library is reported to be closed for the day due to the power outage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Environment Canada said freezing rain could cause roofs to slide, tree branches to break, and power outages<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police have warned against unnecessary travel in the coming days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quebec is expected to experience a stormy weekend, with five to fifteen centimeters of snow expected to fall across the southern part of the province through Saturday morning, before freezing rain falls for several hours on Sunday<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
