Continued falling temperatures should prevent snowmelt in the coming days.

“The only downside we see on the horizon is another system that could affect Quebec […] And the rain will come, but it’s still a long way off,” explains MétéoMédia’s head of weather, André Monette.

20 cm in Montreal

The first big snowfall of the season will begin tonight in the Catino area before gradually moving towards Montreal tomorrow morning. Estrie and Mauricie can expect snowflakes starting in the afternoon, while Quebec and the eastern parts of the province will taste it by the end of the day.
