“If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop,” it said.
The blast of winter weather comes only a few days after southern Quebec was hit with another snowfall Tuesday, which brought 15 centimetres to Montreal.
Snow-removal operations remained underway in the city Friday. It is Montreal’s fourth snow-removal operation of the season and will last for several days.
