This is basically every December and January in Canada. The difference is we are use to it, but there is still deaths every year from the cold. The huge one in 1998 prepared us for lower events that came after. Unless I missed it, in the video, they mentioned injuries but not casualties. Hope everyone ended up fine.
This is one of the reason, why in Germany you must have from oct. To April Winter tires. Then you can drive without a problem over snow and iceand in the Mountain roads snow chains. Greetings.
Yes, and I'm pretty sure these streetcar power lines were switched off as there wasn't public transport anyway. And the underground power lines really are a blessing. They make the whole grid more reliable. There were amazingly few households cut off from electricity.

I remember this snow storm. Fortunately I am allowed to work from home so I did not have to leave the house. It took three days (from Friday till Monday morning till nearly all streets in Munich were cleared from snow. No public transportation, even the subway was in service with a reduced schedule.
You can't compare Canadian winter with German winter. We may have a lot of snow in some years (even though because of the climate change it gets fewer and fewer), but we never have those extraordinary low temperatures. I am 63 now. And only one winter I remember we've had -30°C (-22°F) so, only once during my long life. And because we have most of our electricity cables underground, nothing will catch fire here.
So far, most heating systems still work with gas, oil or district heating. If the power goes out (which happens very rarely and never for longer than about 10 minutes) you need a battery-powered light and there is no television. Electric heating systems were around a few decades ago and are now available as heat pump heating. The absolute last place I would think of if my heating broke down would be a church. They're really cold and there are some real weirdos hanging around. I've never heard of a fire because of snow.
I live in Bavaria, Germany, and Munich is the state capital. I watched on TV how everything came to a standstill. Well, I live in a rural village, and we're prepared for something like that. Just happens now and then. We stay at home and quietly wait until the snowfall decreases, and then start shoveling. Some people have motor tools for snow removal and generously helped out their neighbors. Watching your video, I felt like checking out some geography and was surprised that Quebec is actually more south than Munich: Quebec 46°N, Munich 48°. And Bangkok 13°N.
Srams like they dont give temperatures for comparission The ciödest winter in my city in germany wich is the city of leipzig locadet in an shallow valley at about 113m above see level. Well that was minus 17 celcius at night . That was the lowest since i think even since i live i am born 1995 these extream drops are exeptional maybe becouse the gold stream pushing warm air here evdn if we hsve airmasses from russia or the sarctic The ore comon mi us temps are vetween 0 and inus 10 if they occure of couse in the montsins this happens more frequently than in a valley And for sll us americsns Minus 1 celcious is about 30 fshrenheit While 0 fshrenheit is sbout minus 16 celcious maybe minus 17 but jeh

These are power lines for streetcars and trains. For private households etc., they are almost all underground.

In deed - the cables you could see where for the trains or trams... home-electrity and communication is underground.

Most Canadians live near USA border, that's because North Canada is way too cold!

Minus 1 celcious is about 30 fshrenheit
While 0 fshrenheit is sbout minus 16 celcious maybe minus 17 but jeh
