Snow removal to begin Thursday evening
The sixth snow removal campaign of the season is to begin Thursday evening. I’d been about to post about this, wondering if snow was being allowed to accumulate in Villeray because we’re a Projet borough, or because city hall believed the groundhog and expected winter to end soon (cf Godin’s cartoon).
My street has massive berms heaped up between sidewalks and the road, making it difficult to do simple things like cross the street or put out the recycling.

It’s supposed to get up to 6 degrees on Saturday before plummeting to -11 overnight, so I hope they do a good job with the clearance to avoid some pretty severe ice!

People doing Nuit Blanche will go out in the rain and slide home later!

I’m already wondering how to dress. Long johns or no? Wool coat or parka?

Long johns from October to April. Longer if you spend lots of time outdoors

Dress in layers, they say. I normally have seven. Eight if it’s really cold.

Uniqlo’s warm layers are comfortable and keep you toasty without being bulky. I don’t know how they do it.
