Rain and ice for Tuesday
Tuesday will be warmish, just enough to get rain falling onto ice and then all freezing up later on. A few schools are closed. We’re going to get a flash freeze later.

With heated sidewalk, it wouldn’t be a problem, therefor we should at least have it on Ste-Catherine and a couple fo other busy sidewalks.

^ I’m not sure what SteveQ is on about, but at my CEGEP (John Abbott), all of the walkways and sidewalks had steam pipes running underneath them, so that in winter they’d also be free of snow and ice. It also made servicing the steam heating distribution system fairly straightforward, as it would never impede traffic.
John Abbott was built in 1907. Had it’s own power plant and everything, including a network of subterranean tunnels connecting all the buildings.
Absolute jewel of local architecture.

A gem that they stole from McGill 😉

McGill sold it in 2002… at least the Abbott part, when the faculty of education moved downtown. MacDonald Campus is still there, along with the experimental farms, the greenhouse, etc. McGill actually owns the old power plant, not Abbott. McGill still handles security for Abbott, too, and owns & operates the majority of the land on campus. They still officially own Brittain Hall too but are going to sell it to Abbott so they can fix it up and start using it for classrooms. FWIW Abbott doesn’t have heated sidewalks anymore, the entrances were icy as heck yesterday morning.
