Also, at the time of the post, Montreal was in the midst of a cold spell that was partially caused by an Alberta Clipper dipping down and bringing some very cold air into the region. As other posters above said too, a lot the cold is caused by Montreal not being surrounded by any large areas of water like ocean. Europe gets warm air currents off the oceans.

Just another new member here saying hello. I'm 35 and am a professional firefighter. I have always been interested in science though and was very happy to find these boards. My current interest is in ballistics, mostly from reading the book, Backyard Ballistics. That leaves me some fun projects to make... like a spud gun, catapault, and a tennis ball mortar. I find I tend to jump around to different sciences and such as they interest me. Lately I've also been doing some reading on physics and meteorology. The good thing about this board seems to be that it covers a wide range of different science. Kind of a one stop forum for all my science questions and needs Well, hopefully I'll see you all around on the boards.
