Snow removal in Montreal.
  • Small snowplows push the snow from the sidewalks out to the street.
  • Big snowplows push the snow from the street to the side, forming a snowbank from 1-2 metres high.
  • With safety crews in front and back, snow blowers shoot the snow into trucks with extra high left sides.
  • When a truck is filled, another takes its place.
  • The filled truck speeds off to the snow dump, where artificial hills reach heights over 20 metres.
