Despite being hit with our fair share of snow over the weekend, Montreal is now anticipating even more snowfall and the possibility of freezing rain. In fact, Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for the Greater Montreal Area.
Environment Canada has quietly debuted a new weather alert map that displays active advisories, watches and warnings. Unlike the old map, a still, white image with provincial and regional boundaries traced in black, the new map is interactive, allowing users to zoom in on their area, identify individual towns, cities and major roadways, and click on colour-coded alerts to view important weather information.
As Montreal continues to face cold and icy conditions, it appears as if several regions across Quebec are dealing with far more grim weather. Environment Canada has issued snowfall and freezing rain warnings for nearly 20 areas in southern Quebec.
