Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a special weather warning for the Montreal area that cautions more accumulating snow, and ice and freezing rain.

The snowfall is expected to begin overnight on Friday and end late into Saturday, with freezing rain on Saturday afternoon.

Rapidly accumulating snowfall can make travel challenging so anticipate changing road conditions.

The snow comes as great news for fans of skiing, epic snow tubing and all the other incredible things to do outdoors in Montreal during the winter. But when snow turns to rain, it’s time to discover all the amazing things to do underground in Montreal.
