As you’re well aware, Montreal mostly faces cold and damp weather due to blizzards and the Barber wind. This wind is known to bring snow and sleet through gales, which causes everything to freeze up.
Apart from that, it has a short summer, which lasts for hardly three months. So, as you can imagine, spending so much time in the cold or damp weather leads to foot issues, like Les mycoses des pieds (foot fungus).
This is because our feet tend to sweat inside our socks. Apart from that, the atmosphere remains dark as well.
