More than 390,000 people across Ontario are without power. It is expected to take several days to restore service. The region was hit by a severe snowstorm. Heavy snow has formed in parts of central and eastern Ontario, where rain has frozen down power lines and branches.

Hydro One says it will take several days to fully restore power to all customers. As of 10 a.m. Monday, more than 3,000 power outages were reported, affecting more than 390,000 customers. Contractors are working in challenging conditions to restore power, Hydro One said in a statement. The disruptions are being caused by frozen tree branches and branches. A second wave of snow is also possible. HydroOne says this could affect power lines and roads.
