ON 24th December this year, Montreal was a poster child for the "new normal" - mild weather, no snow in sight. All that came to an abrupt end on the 29th, when Montreal strayed off narrative with a record breaking snowfall.
From the 24th;
Montreal's Christmas Eve record-breaking temperature matches Los Angeles
Dec. 24 high of 16 C matches cities synonymous with sunny, warm weather at this time of year
...
The balmy temperature was the last thing Anaum and Muhammed Sajanlal were expecting when the siblings arrived in Montreal from Kuwait recently.
They had big plans for winter fun.
"I was looking forward to building a snowman because we see in the movies and cartoons that they build lots of snowmen. We can't do that in Kuwait," said Anaum, 11, on CBC Montreal's Daybreak.
Fast forward to December 29th;
Montreal saw a record snowfall for a Dec. 29 on Tuesday after 39.2 centimetres of snow blanketed the city and caused delays at the airport and left streets a mess for motorists and pedestrians.
Environment Canada confirmed the record, which eclipsed the 30.5 cm of snow that fell on Dec. 29 in 1954.
A few more centimetres were expected Wednesday, but no other major accumulations are in the forecast for the moment, Environment Canada told the Montreal Gazette.
City crews and contractors began the lengthy cleanup process at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, with all of the city's boroughs getting to work by 7 p.m. to clear as much snow as possible before a pause for New Year's Eve kicks in at 7 p.m. on Dec. 31.
Clearing operations are to resume Jan. 2 at 7 a.m.
No doubt all that snow was due to CO2 causing climate alarmists to make fools of themselves. Thankfully civic authorities in Montreal ignored the hype; Mayor Denis Coderre's new snow clearing programme appears to be a resounding success.
More proof of global warming.
79 Days til Spring.
Winter in Montreal.
It gets so cold one can boil water, open the door and throw the boiling water out from the pan and it freezes before it hits the ground.
Montrealers are great. They just drive up and on to the pile of snow at the side of the road to park.
It’s not a real storm until it takes six truckloads to clear the Pie IX metro stop. That one looks pretty average.
cripes...i hate doing the math.
approx. 15.5 inches.
Vraiment!
Tres bien avec le graphique.
I was in it. Pretty impressive precipitation.
The muzzies are annoyed it seems.
I love it.
I saved the water image.
When one leaves Pierre Trudeau YUL, the gift shop sells bags of cheese curds.
I never even heard of cheese curds, but I love them now.
Those muzzle cubs ought to be speaking French.
Otherwise they are breaking the law.
Maybe even the hardcore Quebecois allow them to break the law at will.
You know, people in that area of the world think that they are the center of the universe.
Here in Fairbanks it is 25 above, it was much warmer yesterday and will continue to be too warm up here for a while.
It is climate change. It is normal and natural, it is not man-made.
Stuff happens, we don’t understand it, the science is never settled.
Ah, poutine. French fries smothered in gravy and melted cheese curds. Best thing after coming in from fighting a blizzard.
Now you’re talkin’ !!!!!!!!!!!
That recipe doesn’t use curds, but if you can get them, just replace :-)

If people have noticed, there’s been conspicuous silence from the Warmunists on the record high temps.
The reason is that they’re smart enough to understand that this is an el niño and el niños will produce not only warm weather but also lots of atmospheric moisture that in combination with lower (below freezing temps) lots of snow.
They know if they start harping on their Global Warming narrative that narrative will be severely undermined by the snow that will most likely fall over the course of the next couple months.
Actually, that recipe is authentic; I misread it. But if you don’t have curds, mozzarella is suggested.
