Avec des bancs de neige imposants toujours présents dans les rues après la première tempête et le blizzard qui a suivi, les Montréalais se demandent quand le déneigement sera enfin terminé. Ne rangez pas encore vos pelles. Alors que la ville poursuit ses opérations de déneigement, deux nouvelles vagues de neige sont prévues ce week-end et en début de semaine prochaine. Une bonne nouvelle pour les stations de ski et de glissade, mais moins pour les trains qui subissent des retards et les citadins espérant retrouver leurs voitures et des trottoirs dégagés. Photograph: Shutterstock / Barisev Roman Quand la collecte des ordures reprendra-t-elle à Montréal ? La ville a annoncé qu’elle reprendrait lundi après l’annulation des collectes la semaine dernière. Quand arrivera la prochaine neige ? Un premier système apportera jusqu’à 3 cm de neige entre samedi soir et dimanche. Des accumulations plus importantes sont attendues lundi et mardi, avec jusqu’à 7 cm possibles au Québec. Quelle quantité de neige Montréal a-t-elle reçue en 2024 ? En janvier 2024, Montréal a enregistré 154,2 cm de neige. NOUS RECOMMANDONS :Le guide complet de quoi faire à MontréalUne nouvelle carte montre où trouver les conditions de neige idéales au Québec

With towering snowbanks from the first storm and blizzard that followed still lining the streets, Montrealers are asking when will the snow-clearing finally be done (check out the three ways to to track Montreal’s snow removal here). It's official: don’t put your shovels away just yet. As the city struggles with the snow removal from the record-breaking snowfall, another two rounds of snow are set to arrive this weekend and into next week. Great news for ski hills and tubing stations, but not for trains experiencing weather-related delays and city dwellers hoping to find their cars and get their sidewalks back. Photograph: Shutterstock / Barisev Roman When will garbage collection resume in Montreal? The city said it will resume on Monday after cancelling garbage collection this past week. When is the next snow coming? From Saturday night into Sunday, a weather system will bring up to 3 cm of snow. Higher snowfall accumulations are expected on Monday and Tuesday, where up to 7 cm could fall in Quebec. How much snow did Montreal get in 2024? Montreal received 154.2 cm of snow in January 2024.

As we grapple with train cancellations and delays due to the snow conditions this week, a new rail project has been officially confirmed. This landmark project called Alto will cover approximately 1,000 km with stops in Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal, Laval, Trois-Rivières, and Quebec City. The Cadence team was selected by the Government of Canada as the preferred private developer partner for the Alto rail project between Quebec City and Toronto. While the project has been in development for some time, a six-year $3.9 billion design and development plan was announced this morning. Passengers will be able to travel from Montreal to Toronto in three hours which is about half the time it takes to drive (and double the speed of a Via Rail train). Is Canada getting a high-speed train? Construction on the new rail line will not start until the design phase is completed, which could take up to 4 to 5 years.  What is the highest speed train? The world records for top speeds are held by China's Shanghai Maglev Train at 431 km/h and the CR400 Fuxing Hao at 350 km/h for single-phase trains.

Free beer and wine? No middle seats? Priority check-in and boarding?

Continuing to expand its footprint in the New York area, Porter Airlines has added a new route connecting Montréal Trudeau Airport (YUL) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) with lots of perks included.

Entre a tempestade de quinta-feira e o nevão de domingo, quase 80 cm de neve cobriram Montreal, no Canadá. Esta quantidade sem precedentes constitui um recorde para a cidade do Quebeque, batendo a anterior marca, que remontava a 1941, precisamente o ano em que se iniciaram os registos. “Montreal recebeu 74 cm de neve desde quinta-feira passada – uma situação histórica”, escreveu o presidente da Câmara de Montreal no Instagram. “A última vez que a cidade viu tanta neve num período tão curto remonta à década de 1950.” Ver esta publicação no Instagram Uma publicação partilhada por Valérie Plante (@val_plante) A operação de remoção de neve decorre há vários dias – previsivelmente, oito. Montreal suspendeu mesmo a recolha de todo o lixo (comum, reciclagem e composto) para se concentrar na limpeza de estradas e passeios. E as autoridades exortaram os residentes a trabalhar a partir de casa para facilitar a tarefa de remoção da neve. As condições climatéricas extremas levaram ainda ao cancelamento de quase 50% dos voos do aeroporto internacional de Montreal e a Via Rail (empresa pública que gere a maior parte dos transportes ferroviários do país) também cancelou o serviço em algumas das suas rotas. Photograph: Shutterstock / nyker Qual foi a maior queda de neve em Montreal? Apelidada de “Tempestade do Século”, a maior queda de neve em 24 horas registada em Montreal, com 43 cm a cair sobre a cidade a 4 de Março de 1971, contribuindo para um total de 47 cm de neve

After the record-breaking snowfall Montreal has experienced this week, the city is doing its best to bounce back. As of yesterday, over 10 000 km of roads, sidewalks and bike paths have been cleared. Photograph: Shutterstock / Marc Bruxelle How to track Montreal’s snow removal? There are three ways to track Montreal’s snow removal:  1. INFO-Neige MTL app (available on the App Store and Google Play) 2. Snow removal map: Consult this map to learn when your street will be cleared of snow. It presents planning for snow removal operations. The map also shows incentive parking lots, where you can park your car for free during snow removal operations.

Progress of snow removal operations: Once the city starts clearing snow, this table charts the progress of snow-removal operations in each borough. Snow plowed to the sides of streets is transferred to trucks and taken to snow dumping sites. The table shows the number of kilometres of streets from which snow has been removed. When will trash and recycling be collected? With garbage collection, recycling and composting services suspended for the week, Montrealers are being urged to keep garbage on balconies or inside.  The city is also encouraging city dwellers to bring any bags spotted on snow banks to avoid jamming the snowplows.  How does the city prioritize snow clearin
