Eastern Canada - Severe Ice Storm in New Brunswick

#1 Postby Stormsfury » Sat Feb 08, 2003 10:34 pm

In eastern Canada, freezing rain that affected New Brunswick on the 2nd caused thousands of power outages, and cost the provincial electrical utility New Brunswick Power between $3-4 million (USD) in damage repair (Canadian Press). A power company spokesman characterized the ice storm as the worst in the utility's history, eclipsing the cost of the 1998 ice storm in New Brunswick.
