 The Snowstorm Begins. . . by Canadienne This "warning" goes for so many places. . .but it never hurts to be reminded. The day we arrived in Quebec City was beautiful, sunny and relatively mild (8-10 degrees). The second morning, we awoke to one of the worst snowstorms they would see all winter. It was actually too windy to walk. . .and we gave it our all. Although we had wanted to explore more of the city, we caught a slow-moving cab to the Musee du Quebec and spent the afternoon indoors. Lesson learned ~ come prepared for bad weather. . .and have a back-up plan for things to see and do. Leave a Comment

If you go skiing in Quebec in Winter wear protective eye wear as the cold can freeze your eyelashes together..it happened to someone i know. When it is -20 degrees or less this is when you should think about wearing your goggles! Leave a Comment

by rscimagery Frostbite - it can get COLD in Canada. I frostbit the tip of my nose and watched it slough off as dead tissue a few days later. Nothing serious but looks ugly for a while. Petroleum jelly as suggested (after of course). This all happened on my first run in a matter of seconds - BE PREPARED! It can get very windy and nasty at the summit. Head down to sheltered territory ASAP. Leave a Comment

Here I go again with a tip that its cold in Quebec in winter or its how hot it is in Egypt in August but seriously be careful when visiting Quebec when I did in February. The real reason I mention this is that people like myself who come from what we think is a cold climate who are used to snow, ice etc like to think we are prepared but really are not. I am still not clear what the actual tempatures were (still not used to that Celscius thing) but fortuantely I was smart and bought several things prior to my visit, thermal shirt and pants for under my clothes, a good warm hat, a scarf and I spent the money for a very good pair of ski gloves. Honestly I might have worn those items once in my life in Pennsylvania but they are a NECCESITY in Quebebc, please do not figure you have seen it before. I knew I was in for it one my first day touring, the sun was shining as we were peering out into the Saint Lawrence from an overlook when I felt my face burning a little I looked in the glass of the hotel we were standing by to realize that as I was breathing the air was so cold with the wind that my breath was freezing in my beard. I took off my glove to pull some fairly substantial pieces of ice of my face. I honestly thought that only happened in movies filmed in the Artic. Leave a Comment

 Icicles by skatzcatz In winter be wary of falling icicles and snow. Watch your head and don't walk under too many roof ledges. Leave a Comment
