The weather turned cold and wet Wednesday with power outages starting in the afternoon all over the region.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Hydro crews began removing trees hung up on power lines and repairing lines that were broken as a result of either trees falling on them or from the weight of the ice. Later during the night crews had to call a temporary stop to their repair work because of unsafe conditions in the darkness due to falling branches and trees and the icy rain and blowing wind. Repair work resumed Thursday morning as soon as it was light enough for crews to see what they were doing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Hydro One, through media alerts and its own power outage call line, advised residents to stay indoors and promised notices of when repairs would be completed and power restored in all areas affected.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">In the Prescott-Russell region, many villages and towns were without power Thursday morning.
