Are we having fun yet?
Oh boy!! Don't you love it when it snows after Easter? And don't you love it when the storm is so severe that it knocks out power?
Of course, I shouldn't be glib. As a result of the severe wind/rain/heavysnow storm on Wednesday, thousands in Quebec are without power again.
Which means that the area where the servers for etherwork.net are also without power. Until at least the weekend.
There are 50,020 customers without electricity after major snowfall in Quebec.
As of 9:30 a.m. Friday, Hydro-Quebec states the hardest-hit areas are the Laurentians (16,651), Outaouais (10,364) and the Montérégie (7,440).
[...]
Environment and Climate Change Canada says more than 20 centimetres of snow have been recorded near the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, as well as over 30 centimetres in downtown Montreal.
- Rachel Lau, 'Still tens of thousands without power after snowfall in Quebec', CTV News, 5 April 2024 (https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/still-tens-of-thousands-without-power-after-snowfall-in-quebec-1.6834737)~~~~~~~~
Public utility crews are working to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of customers Thursday after an ice storm wreaked havoc on the power grid in southern Quebec and killed at least one person.
The storm cut power to more than a million customers Wednesday afternoon, and as of 7:30 p.m. ET — nearly 24 hours later — a little more than 800,000 were still without electricity.
Premier François Legault said most people would have their power restored by Friday night, but some 300 to 350,000 people may still be without electricity on Saturday. [...] Most of the outages were in the greater Montreal area, Legault said.

Temperatures are rising to more normal levels for spring this weekend, so things should be resolved by Monday. Just in time for us to burn out our retinas when we are too dumb not to look up at the total eclipse of the sun. (Actually, here in Toronto, the eclipse will not be total: but only 99%.)
