Hilarious Photos & Videos Of People In Montreal Making The Most Of The Snow Day

Montrealers being Montrealers.

Congratulations, Montreal! You just made it through the "biggest snowstorm of the season."

And while the snow day might have been annoying to some, it was also a day for many Montrealers, in all their goofy glory, to shine.

TL;DR Below are compiled photos and videos showing Montrealers make the most of the snow day.

 

To celebrate Montreal and its ability to handle major snowstorms (and laugh off all of the accompanying dysfunction), we've compiled dozens of photos and videos of Montrealers making the most of the blizzard-y day.

Some of these are painfully relatable while others showcase some pretty hilarious snow survival techniques.

Stay safe out there!


First, we can all relate to this unfortunate situation:

Even the police participate in the big joke that is Montreal after a storm:

If you must use your car, for everyone’s safety, adapt your driving to the #RoadConditions. Reduce your speed, increase your following distance and remove all the snow from the car. No mobile igloo. Be careful.#RoadSafety #SPVM pic.twitter.com/Bkg2h4kvlU

Public transit, of course, just can't handle it either.
