  No cam but this just in:

This small colony of 35 big brown bats were just brought in by TWC's rescue team! It is -26 with the wind chill in Toronto today, and they were found exposed and freezing outside a shopping complex. They are currently warming up and being checked one by one by our veterinary team. Stay tuned for updates!

Carly, I hope you are fairing ok with the ice situation up there-you be safe too!   

Thanks MAK, power came back on here a few hours ago so we're good but still almost 200,000 without it.  The Jack and O'Connor cam is down too as there is no power out that way so I'll have to take a trip out this week and make sure they are okay as I'm on vacation until Jan 6. 

The trees didn't do so well in our neighborhood.  There is a beautiful red maple right by my balcony and it lost 10 limbs/branches and 2 others are cracked and ready to fall - I doubt they'll be able to save it.  A few other trees damaged out front too but not as bad.  It was so eerie last night sitting in the dark and listening to branches and tree limbs fall.  I saw a tree fall on a house across the way too right before night fell, it hit their second story deck and took out part of their chimney on the way down!

Glad to hear your power's back and you're OK.  Ice on trees can be so beautiful but can be so destructive. 

The local media websites in Rochester aren't mentioning it, but there are an estimated 250,000 homes without power in Toronto thanks to last night's ice storm. Many of our followers live there, not to mention several nest sites that we follow.

We had extensive icing at our home outside of Batavia.  We lost our power at 5 AM (thank heavens for our generator) and just got power back about 15 minutes ago. Erie, Niagara and Orleans counties have many homes still without power, per reports out of Buffalo.

They've reported 9 Snowies at our little Batavia airport...we've seen only one, so far.
