MONTREAL — A spring storm that hit Quebec and Ontario Thursday knocked out power to tens of thousands of customers, closed schools and blanketed Montreal with heavy, wet snow.

"The storm is not over yet, it's still moving through the province, so new outages could occur during the day, with significant wind gusts expected in different areas," said spokeswoman Gabrielle Leblanc. The utility said later that in many places, teams found significant damage, including poles and other equipment that need to be replaced.

"Well, you know, it's life in Canada. It's life in Montreal," Grégoire said. "In the springtime, you always have to carry the four seasons in your bags, and it's the way it goes." "So we expect a lot of snow for them as well," Bégin said, adding winds would remain strong throughout Thursday.
