Montreal in the snow
Today is our second real snow of the season. It’s really pretty. Jolly hard work getting through, but it’s pretty.
For my friends in Noo Zeeland and Aussie :)
Even though the concierge has been shoveling snow, the wind is piling snow near the door.
These things are referred to as snow tanks, though they don’t use metal tracks anymore. My inner kid is certainly rebelling – they were so much cooler before! Designed to clear sidewalks.
This was cleared about 5 hours ago. Already the snow piling back on, impassable even for people on foot!
I can’t comprehend why the snow tank didn’t just keep going on the sidewalk, that’s what they are supposed to do. Instead, it stopped and went on the street. Doh.
Right after the snow tank has been by, the sidewalk is somewhat usable.
Pushing a baby in a stroller is hard work! Not sure why she didn’t just strap the baby to her back!
These two were obviously tobogganing recently :)
I’m so glad I don’t own a car at the moment. It would be sheer hell getting it out of the snow bank.
I just can’t see myself shovelling the car out of the snowbank like that.
Big bright yellow markers to tell the fireman where the hydrants are, because they
Families having to walk on the street. I think I’ll get myself a hi-viz vest to wear in situations like these.
Lots of people leave their car wipers up, so when they remove snow/ice from the windshield, they don’t rip the wipers off. This guy put plastic in the hopes of easing the job later on.
This car was obviously cleared recently. I hope the owner is going out soon because it won’t be long before the job has to be redone :D. Did I mention I’m glad I don’t own a car right now :D
