Montreal is the snowiest major city in North America and its snow removal operation is among the largest in the world, [2] costing C$179.7 million in 2020. [3] Montreal sees about 210 cm (82.5 in) of snowfall annually, with at least a centimetre of snow on the ground for nearly four months out of the year. [4]
The effort can vary greatly depending on the amount of snow. Montreal gets about 225 cm of snow each winter and spends more than $158 million Canadian (2013) [17] each year to remove it. Toronto, with about 50 per cent more population and 28 per cent more road surface, gets only 125 cm of snow a year and spends about half that. [18]
The following tables show the average maximum and minimum temperatures of Canada of various cities across Canada, based on the climate period from 1981 to 2010 for the months of January and July (generally the lowest and highest average temperature months, but not in every case).
Some snow in spring and autumn is normal. Similarly, early and late heat waves with "Indian summers" are a regular feature of the climate. [7] 2006 was noted as the only year in the history of Montreal when there was more rain than there was snow. [citation needed] There were 122.3 cm (48.1 in) of snow, and there were 1,225.2 mm (48.24 in) of rain.
The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first. Not 1. Not 2.
The event included the worst 24-hour snowfall on record in the city of Montreal with 43 centimetres (16.9 inches) of snow falling on March 4, for a total of 47 centimetres (18.5 inches), until the one-day record was broken again on December 27, 2012. [3] Higher terrain in eastern Quebec received as much as 80 centimetres (31.5 inches).
