Montrealers will need to brace themselves for more snow this weekend.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued a special weather statement Thursday for parts of southern Quebec as a low pressure system is headed our way that is expected to bring 10 to 15 centimetres of snow.
The special weather statement is in effect from Friday evening through Saturday afternoon.
“Rapidly accumulating snow on roads may make travel difficult, especially overnight Friday night and Saturday morning,” ECCC said.
With the new snow, ECCC says that Montreal is one of several Quebec cities that will pass the 100-centimetre mark for the month of February.
❄️ With the snow forecast for Thursday, some Quebec cities are expected to reach 100 cm in February 2025, while Mont-Joli and Gaspé have already done so. Here's the latest month with a meter of snowfall for cities that have reached or could reach this mark : #QCstorm pic.twitter.com/0RzaplqvzZ
