Where is Spring?
It has been that kind of a winter in Montreal amd most of Quebec.
That was a storm for the record books in many parts of Quebec, New York and Vermont. What a snowstorm, coming on the heels of what was a very springlike weekend. The snow spread into the Montreal region in the pre-dawn hours and by the time it ended shortly after the lunch hour, about 25cm was on the ground in and around the city. Some sections of the region north of Montreal had a little less in the 15cm range, while the Townships and regions close to the US border had incredible amounts of snow. Sherbrooke reported 70cm with snow falling at the rate of 10cm an hour this morning, Burlington, Vermont had nearly 60cm. Be
tween 20 and 30 inches of snow fell in Vermont and northeast New York. The snow is over now and the big clean up begins. Tuesday will be sunny and chilly with daytime highs around -4C. Look for more snow and rain by Thursday. There are some real concerns at this time with our current snow pack. In the near term roofs need to be cleared as well as vents in and out of homes and businesses. In the longer term the potential for some serious flooding exists across our regions. We will have to watch this very carefully, especially as we warm up again later this week.
