Treating roads the hard way in the southern US yesterday (USA Today)Two major low pressure areas will affect New England and southern Ontario over the next 24 hours. Both will pass just south and east of Montreal. Storm one over the Midwest US will pass across Pennsylvania and towards New York City. This system will bring steady snow to the Golden Horseshoe and southern parts of Ontario before sliding south of the city overnight and Wednesday.
Storm 2 is the big system that has paralyzed portions of the southern US with ice and snow. This storm will lift northeast along the coast and pass east of Cape Cod. Blizzard conditions will develop in NYC and Boston overnight with heavy snow and strong winds. Forecasters are expecting 12-20 inches of snow across the metro regions of the eastern seaboard. The northern extent of the snow will reach the Quebec/Vermont border with about 2-7cm in those locations. In Montreal on Wednesday, strong winds and cloud cover with chilly temperatures and isolated flurries will be the only effects from this storm unless the path changes. However if you are traveling south and east into New England and New York, expect delays on the roads and in the air.
This morning some isolated flurries are occurring across portions of the island of Montreal, but these should end shortly with partly sunny skies and highs around -5C today.
Western Canada is in the arctic freeze again, including southern coastal BC. Low pressure moving inland over Washington state will produce snow in Victoria and Vancouver today with heavy snowfall warnings posted and 10-20cm expected.
