Storm watch February 12-13
I sort of had to.
Useful links: commuter trains, STM. The city is recommending keeping off the roads on Wednesday if you can. CSDM and EMSB commissions have already declared a snow day and Global has a list of the other commissions doing the same.
Radio’s saying everything is closed: CEGEPs, private schools, everything. My street and sidewalk have not yet been plowed and I don’t own any snow pants…
Snow removal operations should begin Wednesday evening at 19:00.

Even Concordia is closed, which is pretty rare!

Man, we’re getting soft: it’s not *that* much snow!

35cm for this snowfall vs around 40cm for the biggest storms over the last few decades. It was a respectable storm.

It’s certainly been a while since I woke up to 2 foot drifts overnight, I’m pretty sure I shovelled about 600 cubic feet of snow between my stoop, walkway, and street parking. We were getting up to 5 cm of powder an hour overnight, that counts as a blizzard no matter how you look at it. FWIW I saw 40 cm reported by some outlets. West of Beaconsfield was pretty difficult even this morning.
