    -38 celsius. -40 c and -40 f are the same.
    A lot colder than you suggest.

    Hey François! I’m in Montreal and yeah, I’ve seen this scene many times. You did good sir, giving our american friends an idea of that happens after a storm.

    I have youtube friends in Portugal and the USA, so some of them only see snow on TV.

    But it’s a fact of life for us.

    5 stars. Good video.

    thank you, i loved watching this as a child, and still do, but cannot see it much anymore since moving to Miami.

    Still, i think they should toss the sidewalk snow next to buildings as much as possible rather than transporting it and dumping it, which creates more air and ground pollution (as it melts in the spring).

    This often happens in the middle of the night, and is many times noisier than on this vid. Needless to say, it does wake up many people. A after big snowstorms, they usually work 24 hrs a day for a few days to clear streets and sidewalks.

    The snow ( calcium spread on the streets to diminish sliding of cars) now end up in some industrial wasteland in the suburbs. (Before it was dumped directly in the St. Lawrence River…)
