Montreal specials

The snow is here. It's time for me to start throwing my garbage bag from my balcony (ok, I've been doing it for awhile now). It's time to be woken up by the snow plow and removal convoy. The bales of hay have been put at the base of Mont Royal Park for the sledders. And I've already seen folks in full cross-country gear (still wearing their boots) getting on the bus with their skis just having come from the "mountain". You definitely don't see that in Toronto.
