Montreal pleads with residents as it struggles to clear record-breaking snowfall

Montreal is facing difficulties with record snowfall, receiving 72.4 centimetres over four days, resulting in class cancellations and travel advisories according to Environment Canada.
Mayor Valérie Plante urged residents to limit travel and expressed that only 15 percent of the snow has been cleared as crews work continuously.
The cleanup from the snowfall is projected to cost over $50 million, with each centimetre of snow costing about $1 million, as stated by city spokesperson Philippe Sabourin.
Two deadly incidents occurred during the storm, including the tragic death of a 13-year-old girl found buried in snow and a 57-year-old man discovered in a snow-covered vehicle, prompting investigations into both cases.
