The following are my own photos, which I took in Montreal on my cellphone on January 15th. We were getting a blizzard that day; lots of snow! It was actually snowing when I took this photo, so any spots you see are snowflakes. This first photo is of a mountain of snow in a corner of a shopping center parking lot. You can click on any image to see a larger view.

I took this photo from inside a bus shelter while I was waiting for the bus to come. This is one of the snow removal trucks working to take care of the snow!

The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)
