Massive winter storm underway
Blizzard conditions in Montreal
Incredible...that is how I describe this storm from my vantage point on Montreal's South Shore adjacent to Highway 15. Winds are howling at 75km/h, higher in gusts. They could gust to 100km/h tonight. Travel all along the St. Lawrence Valley is nearly impossible tonight. Snow is falling at several centimetres an hour with 30cm down in Ottawa already. Travel along the 401 is not recommended. Sleet is mixing in with even thunder reported. Look for 30-50cm over all areas by the time in ends around daybreak.
This is a dangerous storm with numerous accidents reported. Do not travel tonight unless it is an emergency......Wind Warnings have also been issue...winds may cause power outages tonight. In New England flooding is occurring in the south with ice and snow in the north.
