According to <a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/outages-rapidly-mount-as-90-km-h-gusting-winds-blow-through-quebec-montreal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Weather Network</a>, these are some of the "coldest temperatures of the season," with overnight lows nearing -20 C on Wednesday and Thursday nights. </p><p>This kind of chill hasn't hit the island since February 2023 — the last time the thermometer dropped below the -20 C mark.</p><p>That could happen again on Saturday as <a href="https://www.meteomedia.com/fr/ville/ca/quebec/montreal/7-jours" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MétéoMédia</a> predicts nighttime lows of -23 C on February 1. </p><p>Unsurprisingly, things only get worse when you go further north. In the Laurentians and Abitibi, the feels-like temperature could drop to -30 C in some spots by Thursday morning, with Abitibi taking the title for coldest conditions at -26 C (feeling like -34 C).</p><p>The worst of the ongoing cold snap is expected to last until Sunday morning. However, winter isn't done with us yet. While January is closing out with Arctic temps, February might deliver even more polar surprises, keeping Quebec in a deep freeze.</p><p>"The coldest period of the year continues until Valentine's Day," the <a href="https://www.meteomedia.com/fr/nouvelles/meteo/previsions/le-froid-intense-nest-pas-termine-une-autre-impulsion-se-prepare" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MétéoMédia website</a> notes. "This new Arctic air mass, however, promises to be short-lived. It will end January with a deep freeze before a return to mild weather marks the start of February."</p><p>For now, if you're heading outside, make sure to bundle up and protect your skin from frostbite. Setting a countdown for the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-weather-spring-forecast-2025" target="_self">start of spring</a> probably wouldn't hurt either.</p><p><em>Love this?
