It's that time of year again: winter jacket season. As the calendar turns, winter is right around the corner in Montreal, and with the city's temperatures gradually decreasing, you might find yourself growing colder. Before you're left shivering in surprise, make sure you've got that trusty winter jacket on standby.
As Montreal basks in the summer sun, the Farmer's Almanac is already poking us with icy fingers of the not-so-distant winter. Some might say it's premature, others would call it downright rude, but here we are, being briefed on snow while our ice creams still melt.
Living in Montreal is an experience of extremes: extreme cold and extreme heat, high levels of festival excitement and high levels of annoying stairs. Each Montreal resident will come to a point, though, when the pressures of city life begin to crush your spirit, and you wonder whether it's time to move on.
Montrealers know winter is an endless grab bag of random snowfall, freezing rain and hurt-your-face cold, sometimes in alternating patterns but often dumped on the city all at once. The latter may be the case for mid-January when an 'imposing' weather system is slated to hit the city.The meteorological formation extends along the east coast bringing a low-pressure system and significant precipitation to Quebec by January 13 a lucky Friday, indeed.
If you've been looking to upgrade your winter wardrobe this snowy season, then now might be the perfect time to stock up on some much-needed winter gear. LJJ Essentials is having a massive six-day winter jacket warehouse sale in Montreal this week and you can get your hands on a winter coat for less than $80.
