Snow!

The last thing we Montrealers need is another blog post about the abundance of snow we’ve received this winter (and in the past week in particular), but for the sake of posterity and my readers in Australia, I thought I’d post a few pictures.

It wouldn’t be so bad if this were January, but it’s the middle of March for Pete’s sake!

Most of this is from the big storm we had Saturday night. Martine and I stayed home that night and I made quails in marsala with figs (mmmm…). The lights kept browning out while I cooked, but fortunately we didn’t loose power. Here’s what I saw when I peeked out the window around 8:30 PM:

Next morning, this was what it looked like in the dining room:

On the way to catch the bus this morning I grabbed a few photos from around the neighbourhood. Here’s a street near our house:

And here’s a fire hydrant that someone was thoughtful enough to dig out:

OK, enough with the snow. Spring please!
