Difficult travel expected in Quebec as winter storm will pack a wallop

Monday, February 1st 2021, 8:06 pm - A powerful winter storm is expected to bring a hefty dose of snowfall to southern and eastern Quebec Tuesday, with amounts ranging from 10-40 cm expected.
The storm that is battering the U.S. East Coast will impact Atlantic Canada and Quebec on Tuesday, giving southern and central areas of the latter a hefty dose of snowfall -- some areas much more than others. Montreal could see about 10 cm of snow, areas south of the St. Lawrence River may get 10-20 cm and communities well east of Quebec City may see accumulations of 20-40 cm by the time the storm departs. Blustery winds will result in blowing snow, and will likely generate hazardous conditions on the roads. Beyond the storm, temperatures will climb steadily as the week progresses, even hitting above seasonal values by Friday. More details on the incoming storm below.
