Downtown Montreal is buried under 31 cm of snow, a generous gift from a low-pressure system that has been busy over Southern Quebec since Wednesday evening. And it's not done yet. While Environment Canada officially lifted its snowfall warning as of 5:30 p.m. on April 4, more inclement weather is expected through the weekend.
As Montrealers enjoy a brief break from the winter chill, Environment Canada warns that this weekend, the city is set to face yet another formidable winter storm, bringing "significant snowfall" to the region. The new storm, mirroring its predecessor earlier this week, is poised to blanket most of Quebec with a fresh layer of white, accompanied by strong winds and the challenge of blowing snow, according to a new special weather statement.
It seems as if winter is in full force across Quebec as we await the biggest snowstorm of the season. The snowstorm is expected to impose several meteorological hazards, including snowfall and a possible freezing rain weather warning from Environment Canada.
Montreal received its fair share of snowfall this past weekend but the snowfall isn't over yet. Despite Eastern Canada receiving a rather mild start to the winter, it appears as if the weather forecast is now catching up to the colder season.
A Montreal family says its cars were severely damaged by a snow plow during a major snow storm on Monday morning, but the city has denied responsibility.
