What Happened
MétéoMédia has reported that winter is far from over in Quebec and Ontario, with expectations of snowy or rainy conditions continuing into spring. Meteorologist André Monette indicated that the transition from winter to summer will be “long” and “winding,” with additional snowfall anticipated in March and April.
Why It Matters
The presence of a cold anomaly in the Canadian Prairies, combined with warmer air from the southern United States, is creating an active weather corridor over Ontario and Quebec. This clash of warm and cold air is likely to result in above-normal precipitation levels, especially in the Great Lakes basin. As a result, the upcoming flood season will require close monitoring, particularly in regions expecting significant rainfall.
What’s Next
In the coming weeks, MétéoMédia forecasts precipitation levels above normal for most of Quebec, except for the northern and eastern parts of the province, which will remain near normal. The first half of spring may still see several snowstorms, as the trajectory of weather systems favors Ontario and Quebec. Residents should prepare for fluctuating temperatures and potential travel disruptions due to winter weather conditions.
