People driving by probably think we&#8217;re the most depressed bunch they&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>BUT, the upside is the people of Montreal are very warm hearted. And the snow is pretty damn beautiful. As soon as it turns to yucky ice and sluch &#8211; VIOLA! &#8211; more snow. I&#8217;ve heard this winter has been one of their heaviest snow falls on record.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Montreal has a budget each year for snow removal. At one point after we arrived, the city wasn&#8217;t clearing the snow because they had used up their snow removal budget. After a couple days it was better.<\/p>\n<p>The snow removal at night is like something out of a spy movie. Big dark trucks moving slowly down the streets at two in the morning with tractors funneling snow into them. It&#8217;s a grand, macabre procession.<\/p>\n<p>I think the coldest night we had was around minus 20 Celsius. Now it&#8217;s March 21, and we had more snow today&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How cold is the winter in Montreal, Canada? It&#8217;s freeeeeeeeeeezing.
