It was a cold, dark Christmas for tens of thousands of people in Toronto who spent the holiday without power and heat more than four days after a crippling storm coated the city in ice.While hundreds of thousands of residents were reconnected in the first few days, an estimated 72,000 households were still in the dark on Christmas Day and could have a long wait ahead of them, stoking fears that the 1,000 people who sought refuge in city warming centres on Christmas Eve would grow more numerous in the days to come.
While temperatures remain frigid, Mayor Rob Ford said he would not call a state of emergency because he did not want to panic anyone in the city.
