Luego de una jornada bastante complicada en el sur de Quebec, llegó el turno de Nuevo Brunswick de enfrentar la tormenta de hielo.

La región de Moncton fue una de las más afectadas por la lluvia congelada que apareció desde la madrugada de este miércoles, con miles de personas sin servicio eléctrico a lo largo de la provincia.

En total, para esta mañana, unas 119.000 viviendas y comercios no tenían electricidad en todo Nuevo Brunswick, y las autoridades señalaban que las reparaciones podrían tardar “días”.

La mayoría de las escuelas y universidades de la región de Moncton tuvieron que cancelar sus actividades debido al mal tiempo. Las calles resbaladizas y el viento complicaron el trayecto para quienes no tuvieron otra opción que salir de casa.

De hecho, la Policía Montada recomendó a los habitantes de la provincia al este de Quebec que no salgan de casa a menos que sea completamente necesario.

No travel advisory, due to weather conditions. On Route 95 from Woodstock area to Houlton, Maine.

Hasta el servicio de transporte público fue afectado por la lluvia congelada, quedando prácticamente paralizado por algunos momentos.

Se espera que la lluvia congelada permanecerá en Nuevo Brunswick por unas horas más y se convertirá en nieve a partir de esta noche.

Aquí algunas fotos de cómo amaneció la provincia:

Get out there and find something that makes you happy. For me, it's nature photography. I know, amateur I am, but there's something I love about it, being outside, thinking creatively, learning through my mistakes. Whether it be in the pouring rain (like yesterday), early morning sunrises, or trudging through snow, something comes alive inside me. Try something new and discover what makes you tick. Ps. Happy #BellLetsTalk day. Let's raise some awareness and money Canada ☺ . . . . . . . . . . #icestorm #ice #forest #moodygrams #macro #explorenb #noisenb #viewsnb #newbrunswick #explorecanada #bestcommunitytravel #neverstopexploring #getoutside #travel #photography #wanderlust #explore #escape #adventure #keepitwild #beautifuldestinations #stayandwander #lonelyplanet #travelstoke #adventureanywhere #exploringtheglobe #welivetoexplore #justgoshoot #agameoftones

VIA Rail's "Ocean" at a station stop in Campbellton, New Brunswick. This was VIA 15 on May 30, 2009, and a friend and I had just finished chasing the "Chaleur" up the Gaspe peninsula.⠀ #nighttrainweek #railways #railway #passengertrain #locomotive #night #trb_express #railroad #amtrak #trainphotography #trainphotographics #trainsstagram #railfans_of_instagram #fargo #railways_of_our_world #train_nerds #daily_crossing #eisenbahnbilder #eisenbahnfotografie #train_chasers #pocket_rail #everything_transport #trains #hdr_transports #jj_theyards #rsa_trains #newbrunswick #campbellton
