NEW warning issued for more snow

This is what it is like at 1:30pm in Pointe Claire. The snow and wind continue with 25cm on the ground officially. More in places and drifts three feet high. ValleyWX

This is from Environment Canada during the last hour. Better late than not at all I guess! So far between 20 and 30cm in on the ground. Winds continue over 50km/h with blowing snow and poor travel.


Metro Montréal - Laval
11:35 AM EST Tuesday 07 December 2010
Snowfall Warning
Bands of heavy snow will bring 10 to 15 cm of snow to these areas through this evening.

An intense low pressure system over Lake St-Jean continues to track northwestward and will lie east of James Bay by the end of the day. Bands of intense snow are developing near the St Lawrence River and are moving southeastward. These bands will generate another 15 cm through this evening between Montréal and Québec City. In the Eastern Townships, the snow will continue throughout the night.

Strong winds are already affecting Northwestern Québec and will become high from Waskaganish to Wemindji tonight. These winds mixed with snow will produce widespread blowing snow or blizzard conditions over these areas today. Blizzard conditions will continue over coastal areas of James Bay on Wednesday.
