Capping off our week of winter street scenes, we’ll go north of the border to Montreal, where Flickr member colros shot a series of photos of snow-choked streets in February 1972. According to colros, a strike by city workers led to the unplowed streets, which brought the city to a standstill for several days. Thanks to Stéphane Dumas for pointing these out to us!

One of our Flickr pals, Bowen Stead, recently turned us on to the photographs of another Flickr member, Alfred Bohns, aka stampsahoi, who provides a number of views in and around Montreal during the late 1950s.
