As Canadians prepare for festive season, weather patterns across the country indicate a mix of white and green on Christmas Day, with some regions gearing up for snowfall while others may miss the iconic winter blanket.
Someone named Jacqueline is feeling the burn after a public roasting from her own town. The city of Saint-Colomban, Quebec or rather, its social media manager took to Facebook to call out Jacqueline (last name redacted) for her complaint about the speed of the city's snowplows following the January 25 storm. As Narcity Québec reports, the municipality turned the exchange into a warning to residents whose own plowing practices inhibit the passage of public snow-clearing teams. The post has garnered over 2,300 likes on Facebook.
Don't put those shovels away just yet! Two back-to-back snow storms will hit Quebec the week of January 23 to 29 and conditions are shaping up to be intense. According to The Weather Network, Quebec will feel the effects of a strong jet stream heading north from the United States bringing in strong winds and lots of potential snowfall.
Get those shovels ready 'cause Quebec is about to be hit with yet another snowstorm, and some regions including Montreal could be hit with up to 20 centimetres of snow. According to The Weather Network, back-to-back snow systems will target the province starting late Thursday and through Friday.
January could bury us if the Farmers' Almanac is to be believed. The publication has outlined most of its January 2023 Quebec weather predictions, suggesting the province could be pummelled almost without respite by snowfall in the month ahead. Perhaps more like fun, folksy conjecture than a hard forecast, the almanac nevertheless braces Quebecers for the inevitable winter unpleasantness to come.
