Montreal is among the most affected areas in terms of snowfall, and the meteorological agency expects a few more centimeters to fall.

Snowfall is expected in total amounts ranging from 20 to 30 cm, according to severe weather warnings issued by the Canadian Environment Agency: "The rapid accumulation of snow will make travel difficult, there may be a significant impact on traffic during rush hour in urban areas, and heavy snowfall accumulation may break tree branches."

In Montreal, power was cut off to 16,615 homes out of 1,089,025.
