Snow moves further inland

Traffic crawls along I-89 near Burlington this evening

Strong low pressure continues to produce very heavy snow across northern Vermont and just inching into eastern New York and southern Quebec. Burlington, Vermont has had 1/4 mile visibility in heavy snow for the last 4 hours. The storm responsible for the snow is located off the Maine coast and pulling northeast towards Nova Scotia. Winds remain gusty with lots of blowing and drifting snow on area highways south and east of metro Montreal into the US..

In Montréal the snow has been on our doorstep all day. There is even some light snow breaking out in the last hour or so on the island of Montreal and points north of the city. I would not rule out a quick centimetre or 2 by midnight but at this time not more than that. It remains cold with a gusty north winds and wind chills in the minus teens. It will slowly clear on Thursday with just an isolated flurrie possible.
