According to the federal weather agency, Montrealers are in for a mixed bag of <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/montreal-weather" target="_blank">unpleasant weather</a> this week and things could get slippery.</p><p> Monday, March 24, started off with 2 to 4 cm of snow, which will later turn into periods of rain this afternoon. Temperatures will hover around a high of 6 C with a chilly morning wind chill of -12 C.</p><p>Unfortunately, the wet and chilly conditions aren't stopping anytime soon. Environment Canada is predicting a 40% chance of rain showers for Tuesday, with a high of 5 C and a low of -1 C overnight. Wednesday will give us a brief reprieve with alternating sun and clouds and a high of 7 C, but clouds roll back in that night with temperatures dipping to -2 C.</p><p>Thursday, March 27, looks sunny during the day with a high of 6 C, but by night, we're looking at a 60% chance of rain or snow showers with a low of 0 C.The rest of the week isn't looking much better. Friday and Saturday are both expected to be cloudy with 60% chances of snow showers and highs of 4 C and 1 C, respectively. Overnight lows will drop to -7 C and -4 C. The misery continues on Sunday, March 30, with intermittent snow or rain and a high of 3 C.</p><p>Moral of the story? If you haven't switched your tires yet, maybe keep those winter ones on a little longer — that's what Environment Canada meteorologist Gina Ressler advises.</p><p>"Wintry weather can linger well into April. Even last year, at the beginning of April, we saw a snowfall of 26 cm in Montreal," she noted in a recent <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/winter-tires-quebec-date" target="_self">interview with MTL Blog</a>. "Montreal receives about 15 centimetres of snow [on average] in the month of April.”</p><p>As a result, Ressler suggests waiting until mid-April before making the switch to summer tires.</p><p>For those of you who already did — well, maybe keep an eye on those icy patches.</p><p><em>Love this?
