If you like cold (and possibly wet) weather, you'll love Montreal and
Quebec City in January.

I can't speak for Quebec City, but having spent the first 21 years of
my life in Montreal, it can get very cold.

The Laurentians are nice in winter - very picturesque, even if
you don't like skiing.  I'd suggest a day or two driving the secondary
roads north of St. Agathe to see a bit of how it used to look. The
high tech ski area has spoiled a lot of it, of course.

In the city, winter is very much like any other - ice and slush.
Except in the center of the city, Mt. Royal.  Very nice, still uncommercial-
ized.  If you skate, try Beaver Lake.

Bon voyage.
