Police along the South Shore have been busy with accidents all day.Radar and ground observations are showing a potent storm over Ontario and Quebec today. Moderate snow has been falling since midday with more than 10cm on the ground in most locations including Montreal. Low pressure near West Virginia is expected to lift northeast towards New England tonight. Heavy snow will continue for the next several hours with storm totals exceeding 20cm. Travel is not advised.
Visibility in Montreal and along the south shore is less than 1km and has been since noon. The low visibility and heavy snow have caused a rash of accidents that have closed some highways including the 20 near Les Cedres west of Montreal. Along the south shore both Highway 30 and 132 are in poor shape with very slow travel and the 15 to the US border is opened but not recommended. Bus lanes will not be in operation on the Champlain Bridge.
Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect for all regions of southern Quebec, Eastern Ontario and northern New England/New York into tonight. The storm will ease overnight with flurries expected Thursday.
