Snowstorm in Montréal, part deux

The Aftermath:

Snowstorm in Montréal, part deux

I don’t have any pictures as eloquent as this one; what my parents saw when they opened the door on the morning after the snowstorm! I was lucky enough to avoid this sort of thing because the wind was blowing the other way.

All in all, we got about 30cm, or 12 inches of snow. This was the second “thunder-snowstorm” this year. I never saw those before this year.

Snowstorm in Montréal

Tonight, I’m staying in because of the snowstorm that rages outside. We’re getting close to beating the 1970-1971 record of 381cm of snow for the winter. Before this storm, we were at ~320cm. I guess one more should do it. This is the 8th we’ve had this year, most boroughs in the city have already spent their 2008 snow removal budget (which also covers the beginning of next winter).

Hard to believe that in 4 short months it’ll be 30ºc outside!

Yeah, so instead of proposing you a DIY project tonight, I’m proposing you stay in and do nothing constructive.

See you on monday.
