5-10 cm of snow, freezing drizzle expected in Montreal region

CTV Montreal: Snow on the way Montreal is expecting to see 5-10cms of snow and possible freezing rain.

The next system to hit southern Quebec will arrive Wednesday night and the latest prediction is for 5-10 cm of snow on the ground by Thursday morning, followed by freezing rain in some areas.

Environment Canada issued an alert Tuesday for everywhere in the province south of Quebec City, and on Wednesday morning altered its statement. By Wednesday afternoon, the warning was dropped.

Most of the precipitation is expected to fall as snow but temperatures will rise on Thursday and there is a good chance of freezing drizzle ending in the morning in Montreal and areas near the U.S. border.
