Yesterday's snowfall, which Environment Canada says measured at 29.2 centimetres, was record-breaking.
Previously, the largest recorded amount of snow to fall in Sudbury on Nov. 27 was 16.8 centimetres, which happened in both 2001 and 1976.
All of that white stuff came with headaches for Sudburians.
That included numerous power outages throughout the city Wednesday and stretching into Thursday.
Greater Sudbury Hydro said in an email at 8:40 a.m. Thursday morning that over the course of the storm, just under 6,000 customers were affected by outages.
Forty-five Sudbury Hydro customers in Falconbridge (Lindsley, Hillcrest and Edison areas) are still without power due to trees on lines in a back lot area.
Power will not be restored to these customers until later today due to accessibility of the lines.
Also, about 10 mostly industrial customers on the Old Falconbridge highway are off due to a Hydro One skywire falling into our 12 KV primary line.
There are also around 50 outstanding calls regarding low wires or trees on lines that the utility will get to after power is restored.
“We ask for continued patience as we work to repair damage from yesterday's storm,” said the email from the utility.
A look at the Hydro One power outage map also reveals hundreds of customers with that utility in Greater Sudbury are without power this morning, notably in the Walden area.
Earlier this morning, the Greater Sudbury Airport said its early-morning Air Canada and Porter Flights were cancelled, as the airport was still on backup power due to a power outage.
However, according to the airport's website, most flights now seem to be running and on time.
Sudbury Student Services Consortium cancelled morning school buses in Greater Sudbury due to poor conditions on side roads and no radio communication in many outlying communities.
However, school buses will be back up and running this afternoon for those who have driven their kids to school.
Due to power outages, school was cancelled at several schools in communities outside the City of Greater Sudbury, including Markstay, Noelville in Monetville.
