The City of Montreal says it plans to make changes to how it manages its snow removal operations due to drastic temperature changes caused by global warming. ?We're admitting that the situation is exceptional, but will not be an exception in the coming years because more and more we're seeing this more often.

Montreal crews have already spread their third round of salt and abrasives, but it hasn't stopped hundreds of Montrealers from slipping on icy sidewalks. ?We are doing everything we can to address the situation.
