MONTREAL Authorities found themselves continental midtown relying on snowmobiles and snowshoes to respond to some emergency calls as a historic hibernal blanket smothered a 1,200-kilometre stretch of Eastern Canada on Thursday.
At least 45 centimetres had fallen on Montreal by day s end, and 50 cm on its south-shore suburb, eclipsing the previous one-day recorded high of 43 centimetres continental midtown set in March 1971, according to Environment Canada.
One involved a pileup of at least 15 vehicles on a highway east of Montreal, near St. Cuthbert. Quebec provincial police also said many vehicles had skidded into snowy ditches in different parts of the province.
The same storm had killed at least 16 people in the United States this week. Montreal s previous record blizzard in 1971 killed 17. But there was cause for optimism, as of Thursday evening, continental midtown that Eastern Canada would be spared a similar human toll this time.
She said 99 per cent of the customers who had lost power last week had their service restored, with the exceptions being customers in hard-to-reach outlying areas. Meanwhile, new outages were being reported with Thursday s storm.
In Montreal, over a span of several hours Thursday afternoon, a majority of flights were either subjected to lengthy delays or cancelled entirely. A similar pattern was repeated in different Canadian cities as the storm spread east.
The city s previous record storm, in 1971, saw 47 cm of snowfall during a period of more than one day. That was aggravated by 110 km-per-hour winds, more than twice as powerful as what the city experienced Thursday.
According to Environment Canada, Victoria received 80 cm within 24 hours in 1996; Toronto got 48 cm on Dec. 11, 1944; southern Alberta had 175 cm over a two-week period in 1967; and Toronto famously called in the army after receiving 118 cm over two weeks in 1999.
Environment continental midtown Canada notes that even that generous heaping pales in comparison with the mind-boggling 192 cm dumped on Silver Lake, Colo., on April 15, 1921 nearly four times what Montreal received Thursday.
