Because of the severe adverse meteorological conditions, all activities of University Laval have been suspended for the day. That means that I don’t have 6 hours of classes. Thankfully I checked the website a minute before heading into the shower. I got up at my usual time at 6:30AM.
In Québec, most universities and colleges have at least one day reserved that they will take off in case of severe weather warnings. Québec City has a blowing snow warning, a snowfall warning and a wind warning. It smells like a snow storm. We are expecting between 15 and 40cm of snow today. Cool!
A student mentioned yesterday something about the snow storm. I felt dubious about it, since we had clear skies yesterday. I took a lot of pictures because for once, downtown Québec had beautiful clear skies. I partly missed the beautiful sunset last night. By the time I was ready to shoot, the sunset was almost over.
