Montreal and winter?

Bonjour! We have arrived in Montreal. Easy trip from Victoria, Lucy got us to the airport early, on to Vancouver and a direct flight to Montreal. I had enough food with me to keep Norm totally satisfied - everything from ham and cheese sandwiches to cheezies and smarties (so Canadian). Got to Ineke's about 8.30 and visited till midnight.
This morning as we headed out to explore, you would not believe the weather.....SNOW! It is freezing here. So off we headed down St.Catherine's street to Simons looking for some toques, gloves, scarf???? All the stores are showing bikinis and sun wear. You'll see from the photo that I did manage to bundle up. We still had fun walking from Westmont to the Plateau where we had Fairmount Bagels. And the all the way back to Westmount. Good thing I was bundled up:)) Photos to come as soon as I figure out how. Norman here: you've read about the student demos in Montreal, and our first night had a hovering police helicopter near Ineke's apartment, but no nastiness. Students are into week 11 of their protest against tuition fee hikes, and there's no sign of either side changing course. If we see any action we'll take photos.
