“Les précipitations débuteront sous forme de neige, puis se changeront graduellement en grésil ou en pluie verglaçante lundi,” said a meteorologist regarding the impending snowstorm set to impact northwest Quebec.

The storm is expected to bring between 20 and 40 centimeters of snow to affected regions, with Chibougamau and the northern Lac-Saint-Jean anticipating significant snowfall. An orange warning for a winter storm has been issued for the western part of the province, indicating the severity of the situation.

Visibility during the storm is projected to be nearly zero due to heavy snow and blowing snow conditions. Additionally, winds could reach up to 70 kilometers per hour, contributing to hazardous travel conditions across the area.

Guillaume Perron noted, “On attend avec ça, effectivement, des vents qui pourraient aller jusqu’à près de 50 km/h qui pourraient causer un peu de poudrerie,” highlighting the potential for blowing snow that may further reduce visibility.

In some areas, rain and freezing rain are also expected, with up to 5 millimeters of freezing rain possible. This combination of precipitation types could create dangerous conditions for residents.

Temperatures are forecasted to be above freezing on Tuesday, which may lead to a transition from snow to rain, complicating the storm’s impact. The situation is being closely monitored as the storm approaches.

A Colorado low is affecting several areas of Quebec, particularly the northern Lac-Saint-Jean and Chibougamau, where residents are advised to stay informed and prepare for the storm.

As the storm develops, officials will continue to provide updates on the expected weather conditions and any necessary safety measures. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the storm’s impact.

A harsh winter storm is hitting southern and eastern Ontario, prompting winter storm warnings, snowfall warnings, and freezing rain warnings across the region. These alerts have been issued from Parry Sound north to Timmins and from Sault Ste. Marie to Mattawa.

In northeastern Ontario, up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to accumulate, with Environment Canada meteorologist Eric Tomlinson noting that the weather situation will be messy. He indicated that the storm will start with snow and may switch to ice pellets and freezing rain as it progresses.

As the storm approaches, many school buses have been cancelled in the affected regions, highlighting the impact on local communities. Ontario’s 511 reports that highway conditions are ranging from partly snow covered to fully snow covered, with some areas experiencing reduced visibility.

Conditions on the Coquihalla

In addition to the warnings in northeastern Ontario, hazardous winter conditions are also expected on the Coquihalla between Hope and Merritt. Up to 60 centimetres of snow is anticipated to fall by Thursday morning, accompanied by strong southwest wind gusts reaching up to 100 km/h.

These conditions are likely to result in near-zero visibility due to blowing snow, making travel particularly dangerous. Environment Canada has urged residents to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.

Tomlinson remarked, “As we head towards Sudbury, North Bay, that’s a really big mixed bag of precipitation for this event.” Snow is expected to begin in earnest late Wednesday afternoon as the low-pressure system approaches the highway.

Officials are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as conditions evolve. Observers are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions as the storm progresses.
