Snow Squalls cross region

IMG_4636 (768x1024)Sun and cloud are mixing with periodic snow squalls to make it an interesting weather morning here in Montreal. The temperature is hovering around the freezing point with frequent snow and gusty winds at times. Around 5cm has fallen at my place southwest of Montreal island. The watch was upgraded to a warning for the regions between Dorion and the Ontario border including both the 20/401/40 and 417. Travel is poor in squalls with low visibility in heavy bursts of snow.

The flurries and gusty winds will continue into the afternoon before tapering off. A cold front attached to strong low pressure in central Quebec is producing the rounds of snow this morning. Skies will clear out tonight and it will turn colder.
