Snowfalls Up to 10 cm: Regions Bracing for Blizzard Conditions

The winter of 2026 continues to impact regions in Canada, especially Quebec, with expected snowfall of up to 10 cm. As the weather dynamics shift, residents should prepare for challenging road conditions.

Forecast Overview: Blizzard Conditions Ahead

On Wednesday morning, the southern parts of Quebec will experience light to moderate snowfall. This results in treacherous driving conditions, particularly during rush hour.

Key Weather Events

Two distinct snow events are anticipated:

• A morning snow burst coinciding with peak travel times.
• An afternoon snowfall that may disrupt the evening commute.

Reports of accidents and road departures have already emerged, reflecting the hazardous conditions on Quebec’s roadways.

Impacts on Roadways

This winter has seen a series of weather systems known as clippers. They deliver less than 10 cm of snow but create significant challenges on the roads.

Tempers and safety can be compromised with just a thin layer of snow, especially when temperatures drop below freezing.

Visibility Concerns

Light to moderate snow began accumulating overnight from Outaouais to the Laurentians, gradually creeping toward Montreal. Cold morning temperatures will worsen traction, increasing the likelihood of accidents.

Strong gusts of wind, reaching up to 40 km/h, are also expected, which could dramatically reduce visibility. The blowing snow may create added hazards for drivers.

Second Snowfall Forecasted

A subsequent wave of snow is expected later in the day in the Saint Lawrence Valley, including Montreal and Quebec City. While accumulations will be more localized, heavier bursts of snow could occur intermittently.

Again, motorists are advised to maintain safe distances between vehicles, as quick bursts of snow can accumulate without warning.

Accumulation Expectations

As winter progresses, residents should remain vigilant and prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions. Safety on the roads remains paramount.
