Over 100,000 customers were still without power into the evening after the storm. Crews had to wait for winds to go down before going up lines to fix them, and warming centres have been set up all over the province. Check out below for a full list.

Freezing rain and ice pellets continued to fall across parts of the province north of us. Around here it’s mostly just rain and wind now…but a lot of it.

The freezing rain played havoc with power lines with tens of thousands people left in the dark overnight all through the southern part of the province, but especially in the greater Moncton area. It’s tough on NB Power crews getting lines fixed because of the winds and the rain…dangerous for them to climb poles when it’s windy.
