Blowing snow advisory and Monday closures
We have a blowing snow advisory Monday.
List of closed schools and other institutions.
There’s a daycare strike but is anyone going to notice?
Radio-Canada says nearly 75 cm of snow fell over four days here. For people who use real measurements, that’s 177 picas.
MétéoMédia says it’s close to breaking a 70‑year record.
It will take eight days to complete the impending snow clearing operation.
Later report on planes and trains cancelled by the snowstorm.

They didn’t clear my sidewalks at all, and the Journal de Montreal article says they can’t because there is too much snow. It’s a lot of snow.

Wow, that’s 0.0373 chain of snow!

No indistinct grumbling from me this time! Damn, that was a serious dump. My neighbour and I cleared both sets of stairs, two walkways and a beautiful rectangle of the sidewalk in front of our place last night. Woke up this morning and it was all covered up again, including some big drifts. I’m not even sure if it is worth doing anything until the wind stops.
Stay warm and safe out there and big thanks to the city snow clearing teams. They are going to be busy!

I got plowed in. Literally, a snow plow zipped past me dumping his snow bank onto me, leaving me waist high in snow. I must have been an inch away from being a statistic.
Is that a complaint to the city, or the police?

Good question, steph. You could submit a complaint online to the relevant borough but that might feel a bit bland?
