Discussion.
Sunday, snow squalls and blowing snow gave many motorists headaches
across Southern and Central Quebec. Reduced to zero visibilities
caused some run-off-road accidents.
Some localities also received significant snowfall accumulations
under bands of heavy snowfalls. Thus, some areas of Saint-Jérôme and
Oka have received near 30 centimetres of snow.
Snowsqualls developed over the North Shore and gave near-zero
visibilities, especially at the Baie-Comeau airport.
