Québec

I graded three weather services against the station next door, to find out which parts of a forecast you can actually believe.

Three forecast services, two places in Montréal, every prediction graded against the weather station beside it over five days. Temperature holds up. Rain does not — 70% of the rain calls never happened. Interactive report, gradeable from one hour ahead to twenty-four.

A two-month reliability study of Hydro-Québec’s public outage feed — regional reliability, Montréal boroughs, ETA accuracy, causes, record outages, and the data pipeline behind it. Interactive charts + map.

I recorded every power cut in Québec for two months, to see how often the power really returns when they say it will.

A forest auberge in Rawdon, Lanaudière — free Nordic spa with hot tubs and a Finnish sauna, a cold-plunge lake, BBQ cabins, and hiking trails on the estate, all about an hour from Montréal.
