Winter in Montreal, etc

Before I got onto my amusing anecdote, allow me to express all my GLEE at my Generic Seasonal Greeting Cardâ„¢ from [livejournal.com profile] prolixfootle.

So winter seems to have caught most of Montreal off-guard. Heck, even I was a couple of days late getting my winter tires put on the GSVCO. What a difference traction makes! It's as though a few months without cold and snow lulls us all into a false sense of security or something.

Last night, though, there was a serious mishap outside my front door. A snow-removal tractor clipped the fender of a parked car and proceeded to just about rip half the side of the car right off.

No injuries, but the car looked like it was going to need some major TLC. Inconvenient at this time of year, to be sure.

Holy cats -- that's awful! It would be clinically interesting to know the dollar amount of property damage inflicted by annual snow removal.
