Up from the sea, the wild north wind is blowing
Under the sky’s gray arch;
Smiling, I watch the shaken elm-boughs, knowing
It is the wind of March.
~ John Greenleaf Whittier

Ice Storm ’98

Posted by on in News from RLPLLeave a comment

Did you survive the Ice Storm that swept into our area twenty-five years ago? The thick ice knocked out power, wrecked havoc in forests and created chaos in the lives of residents in the newly formed Township of Rideau Lakes. Yet the worst of times brought out the best in neighbours. If you want to relive some of these memories, check out a copy of The Ice Storm by Mark Abley available at Newboro, Portland, and Delta Branches.

Today is a good day to try something new
