Record snow
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
Two snowstorms in less than a week, the second one leaving about 50cm of snow in less than 24 hours. These two pictures are taken during and after the second, record breaking storm. Houses and cars were buried. We’re way beyond 400cm of accumulated snow fall this winter. Québec-City alone uses 12.000 litres of gasoline per day (and plenty of human resources) to shuffle the snow away. Imagine if they were shuffling earth, rather than snow. The excavations would be permanent, the major arteries could be put underground and the solution would be more ecological, longer lasting and probably also more economical in the longer term.
