It's true, eh, you see things differently when you are a kid.
From Environment Canada: Montreal's Snowstorm of the Century - March 4, 1971. Montreal's worst snowstorm killed 17 people and dumped 47 cm of snow on the city with winds of 110 km/h producing second-storey drifts. Winds snapped power poles and felled cables, cutting electricity for up to ten days in some areas. In total, the city hauled away 500,000 truckloads of snow.
But from us kids' point of view, it meant a "SNOW DAY" the funnest two words of the school year.

Father Steve, what you had there is a block heater. You can have them installed on most cars here. With the new car batteries though, you rarely need them.
