Introducing our third famous two-hour 4K raw video footage compilation of the great Canadian snowplow operations of Montréal, Québec, Canada. In a city where winter would otherwise strand an entire population, workers instead transforms it into a seasonal battlefield where convoys of large heavy duty snow clearing vehicles roll down the streets and snow graders plow busy roadways. In Montréal, the largest city in Québec and second largest in Canada, women and men from numerous contracting companies join their effort in an impressive display of large scale operations. Snowfalls occur weekly during the winter months, occasionally leaving fresh accumulations of over a feet (30cm) of fresh new snow in one day. The need for usable streets is essential for a city this size to function properly, so right after large snowfalls all hands are on deck. This compilation shows industrial backhoes mounted with large snow blowing front-ends use powerful rotating blades to cut through snow like butter. Powerful engines propel snow chunks at high velocity upwards in a manoeuvrable chute. Transport trucks follow in a queue to collect and fill the bucket with snow before carrying it to large man made snow dump sites across the city. At these locations, dump trucks raise their bucket to let snow out before being plowed ahead of the next step. Then, even more powerful snowblowers use extreme and sheer mechanical force to shoot snow up at a staggering height, forming hills that stand until mid-summer. On most boulevards highways and streets, trucks carrying loads of salt in chunks or a mix of sand and rocks plow and spread the non polluting element that thaws ice and snow accumulations for a safer drive. In the city of Montréal alone, it now costs nearly 200 million dollars of labour, equipment rentals and dump site location fees to clear the snow from roadways and sidewalks for about half of the calendar's year, every year.

This is the best thing ever... yet I can't tell anyone that I've watched it
no worries...u can tell us tho
Your secret is safe on the internet
@@njcaveexplorer 🤫🤫🤫🤫
this is like watching grass grow but i cant stop watching
I’m feeling the same way what a cool job to just to blow snow in the air
@@bladestoe6568 🙏 no
I just stumbled upon last years and finished watching the whole 2 hours now you've uploaded it for 2020/2021
Thanks for watching, just in case this is be confusing for others this is the third compilation and the links to the two first compilations are at the bottom of the description.
@@the4kguy that makes so much more sense thanks
What a wonderful demonstration of ingenuity and technology triumphing over "CLIMATE".
Imagine the massive snow fort us fans could make with that giant pile of snow!🤩
There is no chance of survival if it were to collapse, but it would be cool
@@sirrubberduck7823 oh wow😳
@@sirrubberduck7823 lord buzzkill
Love these videos each year. That snow pile is absolutely massive!
Thanks for watching
The kid in me wants to go play on it
@@the4kguy What do they do with it as in an industry?? What’s all the snow used for in the end of piling it up?
@@the4kguy I think I just answered my own question so they truck it out of areas and pile it up here because they get so much snow.
I live here in montreal. Always wondered how many wallets, money, random shit i can find when this massive thing melts.
That thing melts in between seasons??😂
@@grahammiller9834 mid june if I remember correctly
Lmao if that thing fully melts 💀😂
@@cameronandrist5101 should make it a ski slope recoup some of that 200 million
We need a time-lapse of it melting
I worked on a Air Force base where we hauled snow and had two snow dumps that lasted into July before melting away.
This will definitely be there until late June/early July depending on rainfall
An.
Yup, not rare to see snow in snow dumps in June in Quebec
Cool story, Pete! Can we hear it again? Do you have time?
i was at Eielson AFB near Fairbanks in the early 90's....there were usually several snow mountains around the base that lasted well into summer
A lot of Thank You, for your time to take all this sequences! Greetings from Austria!
Thanks for watching from Austria!
I can watch this all day. And today is my birthday. Thanks
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!!
I used to do this in Helsinki when I was 19. Very stressful especially when there was a snowstorm. On the other hand it paid pretty well
This is the greatest snow removal video ever made!! Absolutely awesome!!
Hehe thank you!
This is how it's done.
9:47 something is wrong with the snowblower, you can hear it knocking, and see sparks flying. Great video, thanks for sharing
You mean the flashing yellow hazard lights? lol.... there's no "sparks". And the "knocking" is obviously just what the machine sounds like while working exactly as intended.
@@jdkgcp you need to get your prescription changed, their Sparks..
2 hour long video wasn't quite enough, could watch this all day!
1:40:02 they stopped bc a boy was approaching. So nice of them
Pretty sure was more to do with safety lol
looks like a grown woman to me.
@@Timsticlestv because those blades are sharp af if you get caught in it the your pretty much meat chunks
They legally have to.
That’d be a pretty gnarled way to go jumping in that
This is my AMSR, thanks for this
Great job, and awesome footage! Will be watching for next winter's edition. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
The sounds of the many trucks is a eargasm litterally very nice video !!!
Great another video:) Thanks for sharing.
I have been waiting all year for this, you should do more snow removal videos, also maybe a timelapse of them filling the dump would be cool
Keep up the great work, Montréal! 💪
Got dam!!!!!!! The snow removal in Montreal's is absolutely insane wow great video
GO O’s!!
Amazing job!
I Love the fact that Quebec is all french talking, I hope I somehow just can learn it myself one day.
Nice equipment also!
Please made a timelapse video of melting.
Pretty much impossible, it will probably take from april to july-august to melt all
@Samuel Plante I know, we have smaller snow dump in my city and still the snow doesnt melt haha
@@LiiLNiiCk Brinno BCC100 time lapse cameras last 4 months on 4 AA batteries. They could take one photo per hour and last long enough to get through the whole meltdown.
@@Gsquared_08 It would be more than 4 months
It never does all completely melt there's snow there all year round
Wow! This is fascinating to me. I’m from Texas and didn’t see actual snow for the first time til I was in my early 30s. We’d see ice on the ground rarely that made little ice patches, but never real snow. Thanks for the video!
Nice, I love to share these with non snow native peoples. In Texas you get your fair share of other incredible storms which I'd love to chase too!
lucky ba##ard. born and raised in the upper peninsula of michigan. still live there. the older i get, the more i despise winters. granted, a lot of communities rely on snowmobiling, but i can do without. the other seasons are great.
Quebec is a province of winter.
This is one thing we are efficient at.
Спасибо за видео! Это потрясающе!
Incredible footage, so professional,...kudos.
Brilliant operation.
Отличная работа!
Ship the snow to the desert and both teams win!!!😊
I actually find your video calm
I wondered why these do well but I found that the motion of the snow is kind of satisfying to watch
Here i am in the states we just got about a foot of snow over the last month thinking damn this crap will never melt........then I see this...
Play at 2x speed makes it look like an RCSparks Studio episode
Glad to see I’m not the only one that plays with the playback speed 😂
Awesome need more like this.
More coming
Really cool video!
all this snow we would absolutely love in the west coast
A lot of suspiscious brake adjusters in action here! hahahaha!
Hell yeah that's awesome!
I live right around the corner from this location!
Awesome 😊😊
Amazing.
Great video, enjoyed it, huge snow dump in comparison to ours in Port-Cartier QC.
Мооооощная техника
Wow that is one huge pile of snow, I image skiers and snow boarders are drooling over wanting to test that mountain of snow.
That blower machine is amazing
That is an awesome job
Wow!!! That is one heck of a snow dump!
Cool video. 😎
I'm old enough to remember when they dumped the snow in the St-Lawrence river.
Was it bad for the river?
I am hungry and thirsty for knowledge. I need to eat the words from the Bible more. I am only 18, so I assume you know a lot more than me. I can say that beliving in Jesus is the only way to heaven though
Imagine that sled ride, when everything is said and done.
We need some of your expertise down here in the midwest US right now!
I wonder what kind of treasures you find when it melts.
For sure only lots of salt and trash remaining
Impressionnant montagne de neige stocké.
How many brands of front loaders (with snowblower attached) did you count? :)
funny i thought i was looking at last years video, i remember giving it an up thumb
Nice, all new stuff
incredible
Looking at 10-12” snow in the NKY area Monday-Tuesday.......haven’t seen that much snow at one time here in the 18years I’ve lived here
Iv climbed one on my snowmobile end of season.. got some bad ass video and pics
You should do a drone video of the snow piles as it melts in the spring into the summer leading up to the day it's finally all gone. I bet it takes a long time.
The snow never completely melts there’s always snow there… it sublimes and melts gradually but never completely
Can't do that, those light in the sky behind the snow mountain are planed, and the snow mountain is looks like a glide path for a runway. And to be honest with you, can't tell were near the airport this is
How effective is the use of this type of snow evacuation to reduce the cost of Refrigeration System for Cold & Frozen Storage?
Hey man just subscribed... never new someone in the area was filming snow removal stuff in our city... a actually work in a snow dump, its the one on langelier... what dump do we see in the first clip ??
Thanks for subscribing. The first site is at the corner of Thimens and Garand in St-Laurent
crazy!!!!
Damn that's a lot of snow
WOW SBRIOB BRAVO 💪👍👀👁👁👏👋🤚🌹🌹🌹
Is this great mountain consist of snow and nothing else? I can't believe it! :)
It's all snow and it will melt until the summer months. But once it starts melting it just becomes black and discusting because all the pollution in the snow gets more and more concentrated the less snow there is left.
Nice
Here in sweden we have defunded and fucked up the snow plowing industry the last 40 years.. Newspaper last couple of days have been like : OMG THERE IS SO MUCH SNOW!? WHERE SHOULD WE PUT IT?? You guys have it all figured out ages ago.. I love canada
I want one for every major city in north America now
They should make a ski resort out of that pile of snow. Skiing in July would be awesome
WOW! These are some serious snow removal PROFESSIONALS! This operation seems to run like clockwork. Add another subscriber to your list!
What's crazy is that it's a giant operation that never stops, and when they are done they have to start all over again for the next snow. On Monday they pick the snow on your street and by Thursday it's like they were never there and they have to pick it up all over again.
Thanks, there's more snow videos to come!
@@the4kguy Is there any estimation of the dimensions of this snow pile?
Love the videos, do you have any idea as to how many tons of snow is removed and piled up ???
So how much total snow did montreal get this year? and how does it compare to the average and last number of years?
nice vids! I'm located just near cote-vertu
That's an amazing video!! What a great view of the massive mountain of snow! When it melts where does the water go? Or what use do you make?
I actually never knew where it goes, probably the sewer but one thing for sure is that these piles remain until mid summer!
That in deed a lot of snow wow😲
Does that pile ever fully melt?! Very cool video...
Maybe just have a blower attached to the dump truck instead of needing two extra machines. Then it can just slowly drive by the pile and deposit more efficiently.
Roads look decent that’s a win
That Snowblower Is No Toy
I reconize the Angrignon depot but where is the other with the airplane pass juste over? thanks , Great vidéo!
The ninja blender meet the blend anything what a unit 👌mint
Just bought ninja blender actually
This is a fantastic snow clearing video. How long does it take until the snow mountain has melted again?
The caption said until mid summer.
Does this ever fully melt? Or just shrink slightly over the summer ?
How long does it take the pile to melt? Does it even melt completely?
is there any ideea to transform that amount of snow into fresh water in wormer periods? It could be beneficial to melt&treat that snow water to reduce the ground water usage.
nice ! On veut plus de video de déneigement ! Sa coche
Oui on devrait en faire plus
Does the snow dump ever fully melt in the summer? The one in my city is still melting around in August..
Which snow dump site is this, Ville St-Laurent?
How did I end up watching this?? 😆
Now that is a alot of frozen rain :P
J’adore moi aussi!
You need the summer video went the sweepers come in to pick up the gravel for next winter.
This is a Cool setup I’d love to work there!!!! but what happens to the snow mountain once it’s stopped snowing?? Why not shape the other side for skiing 🎿 down??
Or sledding
Lol, dang that tri axle East dump trailer had a few yards in it
Yea that was just a "few" yards in it. Lol. They sure do know how to get a full load up there.
You could dig an under snow city!!
What will happen after winter ? Does it melt completely or some will be left ?
I love that, while here in germany it's a disaster with 2 inches of snow in some cities :-)
Really? I thought Germany is dealing with the sow a lot better than that.
@@V4zz33 I am talking of the german car drivers, many of them in some areas do not have winter tires.
@@V4zz33 People here panic alot even when it just rains... its the biggest shitshow ever once there is about 2cm ( if even that ) of snow and they start salting the ever loving crap out of the roads...
The amount of times that I've been stuck behind a driver doing 50-60 in a 80-100 zone when the roads are not even snowed over and are literally just a tiny bit wet from all the snow that melts instantly when it hits the ground is honestly breath taking in the worst way possible.
With how hard our drivers license tests are you would think that we get better driver over here.... nope lol they're dogshit
Should really have a 'snow resevoir' for when snow eventually melts..
