Toronto winters on average seem to last 6 months while for Montreal it is 7 months. Also, Montreal gets more snow than Toronto on average. Montreal's average snowfall for a winter season is 85 inches and for Toronto it is 52 inches so on average Montreal gets almost 3 feet more snow than Toronto every winter season. Montreal seems to be at its best in summer, late spring, and early fall. I just don't see how it would be nearly as great in winter.
