The education of tomorrow’s leaders will be stalled today and tomorrow by Montreal’s predicted ice storm, as 20-30 millimetres of ice rain is predicted. Closed are schools governed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And heads up if you’re walking, as water on top of ice makes for doubly-slippery conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
