Well, it looks like it’s going to be a green Christmas in Montreal, which is… unusual. Montreal is a snowy place, and snow removal is big business here. Nearly all private homes hire firms to plow their driveways, and they all pay an annual fixed fee. It doesn’t matter how many times they dig you out, the cost is the same.

This year the plow companies are making out like bandits. I wonder if their services will become obsolete as climate change advances.
