- The city has opened five more snow depots, bringing the total to 38, and blue-collar workers are authorized to work longer shifts as more snow continues to blanket the city. Marcel Tremblay says this storm should be cleaned up by Wednesday. I will hold you to that, Marcel.
- A brief hark back to the 1971 blizzard has two video links, the first to cuts of archival snowstorm footage, most with no narration, but a partial voice-over in English kicks in at 3:09 then is cut off. The second one's a more typical talking heads piece with folks reminiscing. (Snow clearance technology hasn't changed much, except it's no longer dumped directly into the river. Shouldn't we have, like, snow-melting laser cannon by now?)
- You're not imagining it: Quebec gets more natural catastrophes and of more varied kinds than the rest of Canada, with ice storms and floods in addition to snow.
