Hymus at 1pm today in Kirkland, QC. ValleyWX Pic1:30pm UPDATE: The SQ and OPP are asking you to travel only if you have today especially in the rural areas. Snow and blowing snow is creating very dangerous travel. In Quebec there have been numerous multi-car pile ups involving hundreds of cars. Highways 640, 10, 15 and 20 are closed in places as a result. Travel only if you have to. My best guesstimate out at lunch is that about 15cm is down. There is a brief lull on radar to our west but then several hours of more steady snow. Expect another 10-15cm today into this evening.
Highway 15 south is closed at Candiac because of a serious accident with Highway 10 west closed at km 37 because of a pile up. Travel is very poor and not recommend off island.
Oh by the way this was issued finally by Environment Canada.

Winter storm warning for
Metro Montréal - Laval issued
15 to 25 centimetres of snow and nil visibilities in blowing snow will affect these areas today.
A strong low pressure system currently South of the Great Lakes will track over New England today. Snow and blowing snow will affect the southern part of the province over the next few hours. The most affected areas will remain those closest to the United States. Significant snowfall combined with strong winds will give very low visibilities in blowing snow. Snow will taper off beginning tonight.
