Did you know – about snow in Montreal?
When Montreal gets walloped with snow like it just did, it takes days to get the streets and sidewalks cleared. A century ago, some streets just didn’t get cleared at all.

And we’ll hear from some Montreal researchers who are working to design the snow removal of the future using artificial intelligence.
