Silver lining department: fewer planes coming in
Spring in Villeray has usually involved opening the window to hear the endless procession of planes coming in over the neighbourhood on their way to YUL. I don’t mind this as much as some people do, but it’s a definite feature of the warmer months under a flight path.
Here’s a bit of silver lining: there are not so many planes these days.
Has anyone seen any reporting about the state of the air around Montreal at the moment?

Thank you. It’s always nice to know one hasn’t imagined a change in things.

For air quality, you can check https://aqicn.org/city/montreal/ and scroll down for historical data. It seems numbers for PM2.5 have been lower since the lockdown started.

I’m usually really sick with dust allergies during March and April every year. This year, my sinuses are fine, even with the windows open. Also, I usually have to keep a fan next to my head to block out car noise. This year, I can sleep silently, which is a much better sleep. : )
