A snow dump in Longueuil just beside the Pont Jacques Cartier just melted its final chuck of snow last week.
Westmount used to have one in a shady quarry above chemin Cote-des-Neiges that would hang around into August some years, but it’s now been closed for a couple of decades. We called it the Mont Royal glacier.

On a tangentially related note, does anyone here know of any way to get legal access to the Francon Quarry site, short of getting a job at the snow dump?
