Yes it's April Fools' Day, but that snow falling on Montreal isn't a joke

MONTREAL -- Montrealers woke up Thursday to a sight more familiar between December and February than on the first day of April, as snow blew through the air and temperatures hovered in near O degrees Celsius. 

The forecast for the day called for two to four centimetres of white stuff with the wind chill sinking temperatures to minus-8 C in the afternoon. 

The brisk weather, however, is not going to last.

Sunday's high is forecast at 12 C and sunny, and it should get warmer throughout the week.

  Between two and four centimetres of snow are expected to fall on Montreal to start April, but warm weather should return Sunday.
