Reminds me of my college days along lake Ontario where we would get tons of lake effect snow like this. Yep, I went to university for a couple of years in the Mohawk Valley and we'd get big storms there too. It's unusual to get so much at once in Montréal, though; we had 70 centimeters (about 28 inches) over 4 days, on top of snow that was already on the ground. It's going to take more than a week (and more than $50 million) for the city to dig out from this one.
First, great shots Brad, especially "Sunbathers"! I'm in Ottawa, and we got a similar amount of snow. It's been a few years since we've had this much snow in these parts, but 10 years ago this would have been more normal, so I found it a bit funny how people reacted to this set of storms: Just start up your Snow-blower and carry on! I can remember storms that dumped a meter of snow in 24hrs, and that truly was amazing! My decently capable snow-blower couldn't throw the snow high enough as the snow-bank beside my driveway was about 3 meters tall!
