5-10 cm of snow, freezing drizzle expected in Montreal region

The next system to hit southern Quebec will arrive Wednesday night and the latest prediction is for 5-10 cm of snow on the ground by Thursday morning, followed by freezing rain in some areas.

Environment Canada issued an alert Tuesday for everywhere in the province south of Quebec City, and on Wednesday morning altered its statement. By Wednesday afternoon, the warning was dropped.

 

Steady #snow moves in @ midnight & continues thru the AM drive (~5-7cm)
Could see a little mixed precip after the rush hour but the rest of the day will be mostly dry w a few scattered flurries possible

Most of the precipitation is expected to fall as snow but temperatures will rise on Thursday and there is a good chance of freezing drizzle ending in the morning in Montreal and areas near the U.S. border.
