Montrealers will want to keep their snow shovels handy. Three more rounds of accumulating snow are expected to hit the city over the next seven days.
The first round of snow is expected tonight as yet another Colorado low moves into Southern Quebec. Montreal could see light snow begin Thursday evening - after the evening rush hour - and the snow will intensify overnight into Friday morning, which could result in another slow Friday morning commute.
Although the system is not expected to be an "official storm" - which requires at least 15 centimetres of snow - Montreal could see about 10 cm of accumulation. Areas south of Montreal could see closer to that 15 cm mark so Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued snowfall warnings for areas like Vaudreuil, Soulanges, Huntingdon.
Strong winds will also accompany the low, causing blowing and drifting snow and reducing visibility on the roads.
The same system is bringing a mixed bag of precipitation to Southern Ontario, where freezing rain warnings and travel advisories are in effect.
Another low is expected to move into the province Sunday into Monday with five to 10 cm possible.
Although the third snowmaker is still about a week away, early indications are for a potential storm with upwards of 15 cm possible, Wednesday through Thursday. Temperatures are expected to gradually drop behind that third low and colder air is in the forecast heading into February.
