A winter system is moving into Quebec—and it's not going to be pretty.
The Farmers’ Almanac warned us to expect dangerous wind chills and prolonged deep freezes this winter.
Taking into consideration that some drivers are likely not fully prepared thanks to record-breaking heat this fall, the first snowfall of the season is on our doorstep—and the flakes expected to fall around the Montreal region are not to be taken lightly.
Is there a snow storm coming to Montreal?
Montreal isn’t showing snow in the forecast until later in the week, however according to Meteo Media, the Laurentians, Haute-Mauricie, and other eastern parts of Quebec will see snow quickly accumulate.
This update is never good news for travel.
The amounts will be light, but enough to make roads slippery in some areas.

According to the report, visibility may also be reduced, even where the precipitation falls as rain.
With the clocks turned back over the weekend, the sun now sets an hour earlier, meaning an extra hour of darkness for the evening commute.
With a mix of rain and snow on the horizon for Montreal and surrounding areas, caution is advised whether roads are wet and / or partially snow-covered.
