Snowfall does not have the same effect everywhere. In fact, some countries are better equipped to cope with winter than others. In the Paris region, for example, just a few centimetres of snow can paralyze the road network. This makes Quebecers, among others, laugh out loud, as they're used to heavier precipitation without the mess.
However, this Brut capsule reminds us that Quebec is very well prepared for such conditions. For a start, the province requires snow tires to be installed by December 15 every year. And even a city as far south as Montreal can receive up to 2 meters of snow a year. The metropolis has also developed an entire underground network to ensure that its citizens can live comfortably in winter. The Netherlands, for their part, have built roads to prepare motorists for potential icy conditions. As for Russia, it's ready for anything, even mobilizing many public employees in the event of a storm.
