Thousands of Ontario residents remain without power after intense weekend snow storms closed major highways and prompted one town in the Muskokas to declare a state of emergency after being hit with 140 centimetres of snow.
Gravenhurst Mayor Heidi Lorenz declared the state of emergency at 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 1 due to the substantial snowfall and the prolonged closure of Highway 11 that left some motorists stranded overnight in their vehicles.
