Winter Storm Warning in effect

01/09/2024

The Public Safety Division wishes to inform the community that a major storm will enter Southern Quebec this afternoon. Close to 15 centimetres (6 inches) or more of snow, ice pellets, and strong winds are expected this afternoon and tonight. A brief period of freezing rain is expected late tonight or early Wednesday morning before the precipitation changes to rain.

Please prepare for possible power outages.

Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult in some locations. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways, and parking lots may become icy and slippery.

There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
