I've never seen so much snow!

So, this last week I was in Montreal, Quebec. Evidently Montreal is having the worst winter, snow wise; they've had in 15 years. It is hard to comprehend what that means; if you were to say that about Jasper, Indiana that would mean an inch or two of ice. In Indianapolis, that means, maybe, 15 to 20 inches of snow that melts within a month. In Newton, Kansas, that means maybe 6 inches of snow that blows from one end of the state to the other.

Here's what it means in Montreal, snow piles as big as a damn building; and it isn't going anywhere, ever. One would think the street department of Montreal would be world class at snow removal, and you would be dead wrong. I think that the Tampa Bay street department might be better at snow removal. Here's the kicker: it isn't going to get warm enough to melt till April or May.

I also believe that the Montreal City Planning Department spends most of its day high as hell. I have never been so lost in my life. I got lost on the damn Interstate... Interprovidence, I suppose. I got lost exiting the Interprovidence to get to the off ramp. How does that work? The fact that you have to know when an overpass is two miles, 3km, ahead so you can exit, turn two or three times on to side streets so you can finally make it to an over pass. I had so much trouble getting turned around on Interprovidence 20 that I damn near ended up in Plattsburg, NY; well, not really, but it did take me forever to get turned around.

Oh well, I suppose I should choose the Garmin GPS option next time I'm in Montreal.
