Over 1 million Hydro-Québec customers lost power during the April 2023 ice storm. Now, some Quebec households who lost food as a result can claim up to $300 in compensation from the government.
Environment Canada issued a freezing rain warning Wednesday for a large swath of southern Quebec, including Montreal, the Laurentians and the Eastern Townships.
It appears that winter isn't over just yet! Although spring weather is finally looking up, Environment Canada is throwing Quebec a curveball (or, should we say, snowball?). A lot of precipitation is set to hit the province, with freezing rain and up to 25 centimetres of snow predicted for some areas.
As if we weren t suffering enough from the bitter cold and semi-lockdown, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement as winter storm approaches Quebec. The system could dump as many as 25 cm of snow on parts of the province, including Montreal, through Monday, according to the federal weather agency. The Weather Network, meanwhile, says totals could reach 30 cm.
