Quebec's February forecast promised a lot more snow than last month. And it seems to be coming right on schedule. </p><p>As a winter storm passes through the region, Environment Canada has issued <a href="https://weather.gc.ca/en/location/index.html?coords=45.529,-73.562" target="_blank">weather advisories</a> for several areas in southern Quebec, including Greater Montreal.</p><p>Starting around midday on February 6 and lasting into the evening, 5 to 15 cm of snow is expected to hit parts of Montreal, Outaouais, Laurentians, Estrie, Lanaudière, and other parts of the province.</p><p>Fast accumulations of 5 to 10 cm— or more in some spots — could lead to reduced visibility and tricky road conditions. The snow will come down hardest during lunch and early afternoon, making the evening commute a potential headache. Environment Canada warns that it's essential to adjust your driving to changing conditions:</p><p>"Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance."</p><p><span></span>To top it off, strong wind gusts may stir up some blowing snow, adding even more chaos to the mix. Basically, if you can avoid hitting the roads later today, it's a great excuse to stay cozy inside.</p><p>Days like this could become more common as the month rolls along. According to <a href="https://www.meteomedia.com/fr/nouvelles/meteo/previsions/un-changement-de-regime-guette-le-quebec-en-fevrier" target="_blank">meteorologist Réjean Ouimet</a>, a mass of Arctic air over western Quebec is about to clash with a wave of warmer air — creating the perfect recipe for some <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-weather-february-2025" target="_blank">wild weather</a> throughout the province.</p><p>"So far, the misalignment of air masses has kept major storms away, but that's about to change," Ouimet wrote in a <a href="https://www.meteomedia.com/fr/nouvelles/meteo/previsions/un-changement-de-regime-guette-le-quebec-en-fevrier" target="_blank">MétéoMédia report</a> on January 30.</p><p>Looking ahead, the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-weather-spring-forecast-2025" target="_blank">Farmers' Almanac</a> is calling for a chillier-than-average spring across much of southern Quebec, with plenty of rain in April — and even a few surprise snowfalls late in the season. But no need to panic as those flurries should quickly give way to rain as the temperatures climb. </p><em>Love this?
