City Snow Removal - Montreal, Qc - Jan 4, 2013

Brings back memories. I grew up in Montreal. Oddly enough I miss the way the house rumbled and the incessant beeping that would lull me to sleep at night. I miss the immense snow mounds that would allow us to sled, build snow forts and the way they sometimes lasted until the first part of June.

That is real snow removal. Here in Crookston Minnesota it’s called snow relocation. They take it from the street and relocate it to our driveways

i actually watched the entire video. thanks for posting

I will come back in June to get my car

WOW!! - This was surprising really fascinating! I'd always wondered how lots of snow in a city is removed. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching my vid. Actually the temperature was around 0 C (32 F) so it wasn't cold at all. But I was a bit wet at the end.

Now that’s the way to make it happen. Very professional if I may say so. I made a great living plowing snow in Michigan. Thanks again for the content. Take care and stay safe.😀

Wow! I am impressed!! That is the most ocd meticulously awesome city/town snow plowing/removal I have ever seen!! My city averages 70-100 inches of snow per season. And my city’s snow plowing is the worst in human existence. This makes me wonder those dudes in Montreal are the gold standard in plowing snow and removing it for city and towns.

That’s amazing, thanks for taking the time to make this video

You have a lot of patience to document (in the cold) the whole process. Thank you.

All this energy all this ressources for every single street unbelievalbe but what can you do, its the only way to go. Nice video

That’s awesome I love your videos, my wife don’t understand she thinks I’m nuts because I watch these videos all the time.

Awesome video! I have always wondered how Canadians deal with snow. Greetings form the USA!

Thanks for sharing! What a well coordinated operation.

Fantastic job, and thanks for filming!

Patience pays off...very thorough and well executed

Is that Park Extension? I grew up there, Montreal has the biggest snow removal budget of any city in Canada (or used to) and when they are done there isn't enough snow left in the street to make a snowball. They would tow the parked cars that were in the way over to the next street and give you a 40$ ticket. Many people didn't mind as their cars were stuck anyway. They used to truck it away and dump it in huge vacant lot where there was a factory that burned down. In the spring when it was melting we would play hooky from school and go there to find money and stuff in the melting ice and snow.

We're lucky if the city only does one pass on any side street. And what they do plow, they leave an inch of snow then throw sand on it. The streets are usually better BEFORE they plow them. Thanks for the video.

I freaking love it! Back in the day a few years ago Anchorage Alaska received 38 inches of snow all at once! Most of us were stuck at home I fired up my big 4 x 4 and was able to go and assist our company. I pick up the president and was paid quite handsomely along with the nice dinner at a fancy restaurant.

This is the best video about our wonderful snow removal tha I've seen! Thank you for making and posting it. :-)
