Quebecers should brace for another major winter storm this weekend, just hours after getting covered in over 30 cm of snow this week.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECC) has issued another weather statement for southern, central and eastern Quebec on Friday, warning another storm is set to hit the province on Sunday into Monday.
“Significant snowfall amounts ranging from 15 to 30 centimetres are possible. Moderate to strong winds will also generate local blowing snow,” the ECC statement says.
A new low pressure system will track toward Quebec this weekend as it intensifies. The federal agency says heavy snow will begin Sunday morning over the southern region of the province and later in the day will affect other areas.
Officials warn that this new snow will add to the snowfall amounts received this week, causing significant weight on roofs.
