Almost a week after Montreal’s biggest snow storm of the winter, the city said it’s almost done clearing the snow away.
“We figured it would take eight days to complete the operation and actually every borough will be done by tomorrow, Wednesday,” said Philippe Sabourin, city of Montreal spokesperson. “So that means we’re one day ahead.”
The good news: all the snow will soon be hauled away. The bad news? More snow is on the way.

“The core of the precipitation is expected to fall as snow,” the organization states.
“There is, however, a risk of freezing rain for regions near Montreal, as well as near the U.S. border.”
Environment Canada warns that there may be a significant impact on Thursday morning’s commute.
