The alert says the snowfall will persist from Thursday through to Friday morning,
The alert, issued just after 5 am on Wednesday, is in effect for the following areas:
- Châteauguay – La Prairie area
- Laval area
- Longueuil – Varennes area
- Montréal Island area
Rush hour traffic in these regions on Thursday evening will likely be difficult due to “rapid snow accumulation on roads,” says the weather agency.
According to Environment Canada, “this snow will come from a low-pressure system from Texas that will merge with a cold front moving across the province on Thursday.”
