Major storm continues

West Island this morning. (ValleyWX Pics)


8:00am UPDATE: (original post below) Strong low pressure near Boston continues to send heavy snow northwest across New England and into southern Quebec. Montreal is getting pounded by heavy snow at this hour (forget the observer at Dorval calling it light snow, it is always light at the airport) visibility is down to 0.6 km with gusty winds causing near white out conditions in and around the city. Travel is not advised south and east of Montreal. Storm totals will reach 15-20cm in Montreal and get deeper as you head southeast. Look for 50cm in the Townships and Vermont with 40cm in New York and 10cm in the St. Lawrence Valley of Ontario. Nothing is expected in Ottawa.
