Re: GTA Ice Storm Photos.

that's not grand theft auto

What I was thinking when I saw "GTA".

What would you (anyone) take? A week without power with temperatures in the single digits with a feel like below zero or a month without power in the humid heat with temperatures in the 90s with a feel like pushing 105-110°F?

I would rather be in the cold myself. It's SOOO uncomfortable when it's too hot, but you can bundle up if it's cold

Who wants to play Warchess III: Frozen Throne???

roflmao, I feel too nerdy for laughing at this.


Ice storms are generally only cool when you're not involved, but I wish this would've extended down to here. :c

Easily in the cold without power. I've been spending the bulk of my time outside the past 24 hours anyway, but one advantage to the cold as opposed to the heat that hasn't been mentioned yet is that food is less likely to spoil as quickly in the cold.

Also attached is the Toronto Hydro outages map between last night and this morning. You can see where progress is being made..

I feel like it will go past New Year's until they are able to fix the problem entirely.

Re: GTA Ice Storm Photos.

those pictures are both beautiful and scary at the same time. This is why I don't want to live in Canada, the cold isn't for me; even when the extremes better favor the cold.

Good luck with the power out guys, stay warm

By this time, the number of affected customers has dropped to 85,000 from 200,000. This means between 250,000 - 500,000 are still without power as opposed to 500,000 - 1,000,000+. All subway lines have now been restored, and public transit delays have been reduced to this:
