The weather agency urges travellers to postpone all non-essential travel until visibility and road conditions improve.

And hey, if we’re going to deal with snow, we may as well do so in historical proportions.

Montreal has been blanketed with 15 cm of snow (and counting) since yesterday evening.


The province-wide whiteout is expected to pummel an additional 30 cm of snow throughout the rest of the day.

Amidst school cancellations, shovelling, and trying to navigate a car through the blizzard, nothing brings people together like posting snowstorm pictures onto social media.
