Parts of Canada tackle snow after back-to-back storms

Montreal in Canada has seen around 70cm of snow thanks to the two storms, which were just days apart. Philippe Sabourin, who is a spokesperson for the City of Montreal, says, "it will be quite a challenge to clear all of it".

If you are a fan of snow, then these images might seem like a dream come true.
However, lots of snow falling in a short amount of time can cause problems for people's day-to-day lives.
People living in Canada are working hard to clear some of the white stuff after two storms hit parts of the country in four days.

Toronto was also hit by the storms. The large amount of snow has given some children the perfect opportunity to get the sleds out.

People have been working together to help clear the snow, but officials in Toronto say it could take up to three weeks to remove it all.

In some areas people have been asked to work from home if possible and stay off the roads, to help with the clear-up process.

The council in Toronto will use dump trucks to move snow to special storage sites, removing it from locations like hospitals, schools and emergency service stations first.
