More than 100,000 Hydro-Québec customers are without electricity as large, wet snowflakes continue to fall across Quebec Sunday morning.
Around 123,000 clients were in the dark as of 10:15 a.m. — a number that’s been steadily climbing for the past few hours.
Most of the outages are in the Montérégie and Quebec City regions, followed by the Laurentians.
Hydro-Québec says heavy, sticky snow is weighing down tree branches, causing them to take out power lines.
“The damage assessment is still ongoing, so it is still too early to comment on recovery times,” the public utility said in a post to X.
It added crews are working to restore power to customers as quickly
