Ile Perrot this morning. Our first snow of the season. ValleyWX PicA snow squall watch is in effect this morning for southern Quebec. Gusty southwest winds are bringing moisture from the Great Lakes into the St. Lawrence Valley. A quick inch of snow fell early this morning in Montreal and winds gusted to 52km/h at the airport with one squall. Low pressure over Central Quebec continues to spiral bands of precipitation across the region this morning. The winds will shift to the northwest later today and the snow should slip south of Montreal into New York. During the snow early this morning visibility dropped below 2km and the roads became snow covered quickly. The entire region can expect up to 5cm of snow today in these bands with low visibility and strong winds. Further west around the Great Lakes much heavier snow is being driven off the open waters. Lake effect snow warnings are posted with upwards of 30cm possible around Georgian Bay, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Over 25cm has already piled up in Beatrice Ontario just north of Bracebridge, with equal amounts south of Buffalo and Watertown, NY.
St-Anne radar is showing multiple squalls across eastern Ontario moving southeast towards Montreal at 7:30. Travel with care this morning.
