Ken is on his way to check on the Surrey Reserve cams - his guess is that the power was out for long enough so the internet provider assigned a new IP address to the cams. He'll be able to get that from the equipment on site, and then plug it into his computer when he gets back home - and hopefully we'll be back on line in a few hours.
It looks from the BC Power outages map as if the big outage near Harrison Mills has been fixed - but it does seem to take a while for the cams to restart after an outage, and it might require a site visit, which is not likely to happen until after the 25th. But the North cam does sometimes come back on its own, and the South cam has done that occasionally as well, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for a happy holiday surprise.
