When I was a kid we had a bad winter once in a, I'm trying to think of the year now, I can't think of it. I think it was maybe 97 we had the ice storm. Yeah, 97 I think was the ice storm. It knocked all the power out to Montreal. We had no power. My cousins who lived in Montreal, they had no power. They had to eat food out of the can. They had to take a can open or open up the food by hand and eat it. No heat, nothing happened. I think in February, it was still winter time but no one had any. They had to burn their furniture. That's how bad it was. Most of these old houses all have fireplaces. They were burning their furniture to keep warm. Hopefully we won't see an ice storm like that again. It was good for the electricians. Boy did line workers have a miracle happen. Double bubbles, everything when the electrical lines fell down.
