Using the new Reeder.app∗ to read content from some Bluesky users I follow is a rather surprisingly good experience. Quote posts, replies are all beautifully rendered, like you could expect from Reeder’s developer.

In the past seven days, two snow storms, back to back, dropped a total of 74 cm of snow in Montreal, Canada. That’s a lot. The second storm hit harder than the first. During a snow storm, temperatures often inches close to zero Celsius with weak winds. This time, it was -10 degree Celsius and windy, creating blizzard conditions. I love these, but the aftermath is not fun to cope with: I won’t be able to take the car for the next few days, sidewalks are mostly not usable. I’ll remember that one for a long time.

Yesterday we had our second snow storm in less than five days. It was a big one, probably the biggest one in a decade. It was the best time to go out for a walk and snap as many pictures as possible. Here’s one.

I wrote this about Apple’s Aperture more than five years ago. Now we have something to talk about.

I’m not too fond of text quotes shared as beautiful pictures (coming from Readwise, for example), especially if they don’t come with ALT text description. They look pretty, though. Here’s an example. I don’t like them because they hinder content indexing in some ways.

Another big snowstorm is coming right at us this Sunday. It should be a bit smaller is intensity compared to yesterday’s storm. So far, snow accumulation estimated range is 20-30 cm. ❄️

A rather big one is coming at us this Thursday, the first big snow storm of the season. Mostly heavy snow, rather weak winds. North shore of Montreal to get the most snow. Working from home that day for sure.

I love the complexities and sometimes anarchic flavours of cities.

Thinking about next summer season while waiting a few snowstorms in the next ten days.
