Another snap from Tuesday afternoon, from a wander I undertook during a (slight) break in the snowy weather.

Thumbs up for snow?

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

One of the quick snaps I took yesterday after Calgary got walloped by a record-breaking snow storm, with the official record showing almost 33 cm accumulated on Tuesday. Some neighbourhoods got closer to 40 or 50 cm. Tuesday’s snowfall made it Calgary’s snowiest day since 1981 and snowiest Oct. 2 in the weather record books.

There is a distinctly wintry feel outside today, despite what the calendar might suggest.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I’ve had a taste of all kinds of weather during my visit to Montreal. Recently, bouts of rain have started to erase much of the snow that’s fallen in the last couple of weeks. This photo was snapped almost two weeks ago — and today, there is no more snow clinging to trees.
