The first big winter storm of the season could be imminent. MétéoMédia is tracking two systems that it says could hit a high-pressure wall over Quebec, forcing them to slowly "drag" over the province and unload copious precipitation.
Montreal is expected to be hit with its first major snowfall on November 16 and the remainder of the province is set to be just as snow-filled, if not more. Environment Canada has issued a series of weather warnings for various regions across Quebec, including a snowfall warning and a special weather statement.
Environment Canada has issued a special statement ahead of an expected five to 10 centimetres of snow in the Montreal area Wednesday. The Montreal weather forecast suggests snow could start falling Tuesday night and continue all day Wednesday. Other parts of Quebec are subject to snowfall warnings.
While winter doesn't officially begin until next month, it seems as if Mother Nature is giving us all a preview of the conditions to expect come December. Environment Canada has issued a series of weather warnings for various regions across Quebec, including a winter storm and freezing rain warning.
Quebec winter weather runs deep. Our skeletons have only just thawed from the last cold season, but already we're facing down another four months of finger-numbing temperatures, face-chafing wind and ass-breaking slippery sidewalks. According to predictions from the Old Farmer's Almanac, the first real evidence of winter will arrive in early November, though it won't be an immediate plunge into an icy hell.
