damn Canadian winters!!

[blazi]

we've had freezing rain for like 24 hours straight now and it said on the news it wasn't gonna get any better for a while... already on the radio this morning there was mention of a fatality on the 401 hwy, people should learn to slow down when it's like this!

I hate Canadian winters!!

[KCJ]

hell yeah I also wonder when the spring is finnaly going to start!!!

[Ronaldo]

A good foot of snow here in Manitoba.

No worries though. No bosses(?) yesterday. Probably not today either. Slackers.

If I ever meet old man winter I'm gonna kick him in the nuts so hard that he'll be wearing his balls for earrings! :mad:

Frigging heavy snowfall warning for tonight and tomorrow here in Montreal. 15 to 20 cm. Shit. Let's have some spring so I can do a little sightseeing and stuff. I've been in Montreal for 3 weeks and I haven't seen anything except the Stade Olympique. And that's only cuz I live half a mile away.

[sonomasnap]

No shit. I have only lived here for 2 years but I have about had it.

Yeah you live about 10 mins (in car) from me.

[dyonisus]

Oh Man in this latest coating of ice, I managed to fall on my ass 2x. I laughed so hard at myself, but it was really slippery!!

he he.

Montrealers, let's make him a list of places to see.

- belvedère over the mountain

- tango in the park, every summer Sunday, park St-Viateur, Outremont. http://www.tangolibre.qc.ca/anglais/school/happenings/hap_6.htm

- a tour of our 768,567,234 1/3rd churches

- old Montreal (a tourist trap area, but nice to look at)

- OkaPulco (the nude beach at Oka) [puke puke]

- Laurentian Mountains area (lower area).

- come second week of september, the autumn coat of the Laurentians forests is impressive

- rue St-Denis on any warm summer night

- Grand Prix Formula One on Ile Notre-Dame (I think, second saturday or sunday of June)

- nice walk on Notre Dame, from St-Laurent to the Turcot interchange, past Atwater. Note the landscape change. he he.
You have to like the slums.

- a walk through the Cote des Neige Cemetary, starting at Cote Des Neige entrance (near metro Cote des Neige), up to the mountain, across Beaver lake, up to the belvedere, and down the stairs near McGill street, then, a good meal downtown (you'll end up on Ste-Catherine). Have a great steak at L'Entrecote St-Jean.


- 5-7 at Hotel de la Montagne. It connects with the Thursdays, via an underground passage. There is a pool on the top of the hotel, a pick-up place for high-end prostitutes. The, there's always the Thursday...

- a weird place that is worth visiting, very surprizing, is the old Habitat 67 on Ile Notre-Dame. You get there via Pont de la Concorde I think.

Get on any terasses of this quite special building and have a view of Montreal. You'll get a postcard view. Very surprizing. And the building itself is amazing. From afar, it looks like a pile of cubes, but when you're in it, the view is surprizing. Nobody sees their neighboors. An amazing feat of geometry and architecture.

- rollerblade or bike on the bike path along the Lachine Canal into the old port. Great lookout for the local babes. :D

- If you like nineteen century industrial buildings, go mosey around south of St-Jacques and west of McGill st.

- if you like aviation, homebuilts and small airplanes, St-Lazare private airport, Cooper Aviation, is a good spot.

Massive list there! What I love about summers here (in montreal) is that the Grand Prix launches the summer. Firstly, it's a HUGE party with people from everywhere around the world, and some beautiful women. That whole week is great cause there's just money everywhere you look, the whole city turns into a jetset lifestyle. Then you got all the festivals and stuff, Jazz, just for Laughs, all that good stuff.

but Mister X, if you're looking for good places to hang out, walk around Le Plateau. St-Denis is a great street, Mont-Royal, St-Laurent, everything. It's a nice walking area to be in.

[Mister X]

Wow... Some pretty cool sounding suggestions there. :D

I'm WAYYYYYYYY looking forward to the Grand Prix. :xthumbs:

Now if the damn weather will just cooperate, hehe.

I think I'll just wait until like June or July before I come visit Montreal again. I could only hope you guys would be thawed out by then.<img src="http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/wink.gif" width="15" height="15">
