I wasn't suggesting that you convert to using metric, Bert. I was just helping you figure out how many inches of snow fell.

MONTREAL (CP) — A dispute among elevator riders broke out Wednesday and got out of control, with one rider resorting to pepper spray. The clash in Old Montreal was over whether the elevator should go up or down. The high-rise office building, located on the same square as Notre Dame Basilica, houses several business. The aggressor fled but pepper spray spread through levels of the office block on Place d'Armes, forcing a partial evacuation of the building. The elevator continued on its way, spreading pepper spray on other floors of the high-rise each time that the elevator doors opened. The building's main floor and two underground floors were evacuated. Workers on some other floors left when they saw firefighters circling the premises, which include a National Bank branch. "We got a call from people in an elevator who had been victims of an irritating gas," said Luc Turgeon of the Montreal fire department. He said three people who reported feeling sick and dizzy as a result of the spray were taken to hospital for preventive examination.
