    Burned their furniture, yes they did Sir. It get cold fast in a home, and since people heat with electricity. They burned everything they found. Trees, electric pilons, furniture. There was no end to it. My dad burned the oak tree.

    I am from MOntreal, and the good thing about this, was that criminals activities in the city have almost reach 0! Ask New-Orleans, if they were that civilized!!
    Also, all of the city center was a no go zone, as ice were falling from the skyscrapers! Apocalyptic to say the least!

  • I'm from near ...

    I'm from near Syracuse, New York and the one thing I remember most from this storm was that we were lucky because the precipitation fell as liquid rain and temperatures were above freezing and we did not suffer from all the power outages and fallen trees and all that sort of bad stuff. Roughly 60 miles to the noth in Watertown it was a different story where by dad's side of family live and they had to go through the freezing rain and power outages and all sorts of bad stuff.

  • I can't remember ...

    I can't remember the worst I've gotten of weather. I was about 4 at the time of this storm, so I don't remember. Right now though, it's March and we're getting 50cm of snow --it's not that bad, not cold.

  • They may not have ...

    They may not have burned their furniture, but some people died from Carbon Monoxide suffocation, or something like that. They brought their BBQ's inside to keep warm.
