A strengthening low-pressure system from Texas is moving toward Quebec, bringing some seriously heavy snowfall with it.
A blizzard is forecasted to begin overnight Wednesday in the province’s southwest and spread to Central and Eastern Quebec by Thursday morning—just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Significant snowfall is great news for skiers, anyone into winter hiking and the tubing and urban sledding crew.
But Environment Canada warns that rapid snowfall accumulation could create hazardous travel conditions, with reduced visibility during periods of heavy snow.
Urban areas may experience significant disruptions during rush hour.
