Thousands of Quebecers still in the dark after major winter storm

Global News published this video item, entitled “Thousands of Quebecers still in the dark after major winter storm” – below is their description.

Montreal skies have finally cleared after a cocktail of wind, rain, hail and snow that slammed the province over the weekend. But not everyone can see clearly after the storm is gone.

More than 55,000 clients were still without electricity as of 3 p.m. on Boxing Day, according to Hydro-Québec.

The CEO of the public utility told reporters that weather conditions on Christmas made for another difficult day. Sophie Brochu said the goal is to restore power to the majority of households by Wednesday’s end, but she couldn’t promise that nobody would be in the dark by New Year’s Eve.

As Global News’ Gloria Henriquez explains, the weather continues to affect travelers and people across Quebec.
