January could bury us — if the Farmers' Almanac is to be believed. The publication has outlined most of its January 2023 Quebec weather predictions, suggesting the province could be pummelled almost without respite by snowfall in the month ahead. Perhaps more like fun, folksy conjecture than a hard forecast, the almanac nevertheless braces Quebecers for the inevitable winter unpleasantness to come.

The first big winter storm of the season could be imminent. MétéoMédia is tracking two systems that it says could hit a high-pressure wall over Quebec, forcing them to slowly "drag" over the province and unload copious precipitation.

Environment Canada has issued a series of rainfall warnings and special weather statements for much of southern Quebec ahead of an expected storm Wednesday that could bring heavy rain and high winds to some areas. It looks like Montreal weather won't be too pretty at the start of December.

Areas to the north and west of Montreal are under a storm watch as Quebec weather forecasts warn of possible severe thunderstorms Sunday. According to Environment Canada, such storms could bring "nickel size" hail and 90 km/h winds gusts to Gatineau. Other parts of the Outaouais region, including Pontiac, and the Laurentians region, including Mont-Tremblant, are covered by the federal agency's storm watch.

Over 132,000 Quebec households and businesses were still without power Tuesday morning following a violent storm that ripped through the province over the weekend. The resulting Hydro-Québec outages affected around 550,000 customers in total, many in the Laurentians, Outaouais and Lanaudière regions, the company said.1,400 workers were working to restore power to affected areas as of 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, but some customers are in the dark as to when they might get their electricity back.
