There are 33 weather alerts spread out across Quebec today.
Ranging from winter storms, snowfall warnings, and storm surges, Environment Canada is warning that “hazardous winter conditions” are expected for the rest of the day through to Wednesday afternoon.
The storms are related to an “intense low-pressure system over the US Eastern Seaboard” that will continue to track northbound over the next 36 hours.
