Montreal on northern edge of quick moving winter storm

We are running out of places to pile the snow. A quick moving winter storm will give Montreal another 10 to 15cm of snow on Wednesday.

Southern Quebec and Ontario will be on the northern edge of a winter storm, quickly moving form the lower Mississippi Valley to southern New England on Wednesday. Skies will be partly cloudy overnight in Montreal, with chilly overnight lows of  -13C (9F). Clouds will increase early Wednesday morning, followed by snow, moving from southwest to northeast through the midday. The snow could become heavy at times from Montreal south into New York and Vermont. Precipitation should taper of to a few flurries by midnight. The temperature will be cold throughout the snowfall, with a daytime high near -8C (18F) in Montreal. Total storm accumulations will be in the order of 10cm from Montreal north and west towards the Ottawa Valley. Along and south of the St. Lawrence River, 10 to 15cm is likely from Cornwall towards the south shore of Montreal. Across the Eastern Townships and south into New England and New York, 15-30cm is forecast. Winter storm warnings are in place from Sherbrooke south into the US. In the St Lawrence Valley of New York, a winter weather advisory is in effect. No warnings are in effect at this time for Montreal.

Regardless of the weather warnings, steady snow, along with gusty northeast winds between 20 and 40 km/h, will make travel poor during the afternoon commute in Montreal. Snowfall rates of 2 to 3cm per hour are possible, especially south and east of Montreal. Expect icy, snow covered roads and reduced visibility.
