Freezing rain expected Tuesday

Freezing rain is expected starting Tuesday evening.

Every winter brings some freezing rain, but I suspect a whole generation of Montrealers are traumatized by memories of the 1998 ice storm.

Speaking of collective weather memories, the Gazette looks back on 1971, not at the notorious storm of March 4 that year, but at the one right before it, and the ones before that. We’ve had a couple of storms this century that exceeded the fall that March 4, but they weren’t adding to an accumulation of 330 cm as in 1971.
