Here is Julia Sánchez, the NPD candidate in the Outremont by election, with the snowperson constructed on Wednesday by her friends and campaign workers. I was by to telephone that afternoon, and was delighted to see how many people were working there on an day where much of the city closed down (about 36 cm in this neighborhood, or 9 inches, which fell within 12 hours.) Good responses to my calls, too--people were home because so many of them had booked off because of transportation problems.
We usually get about 40 cm (10 inches) of snow in February, but it all fell in a very short time. It was just another example of the extreme weather--another is the cycle of enormous temperature shifts from day to day--that we've had this year. Probably due to climate change, which is one of Julia's big concerns. She would/will make a great MP, and my task this afternoon is to go campaign a bit more for her.
