Raining and snowing around the island
Wanted to note, looking at a few of the cams on the city traffic cam map, right now it’s raining downtown, but snowing north of the mountain.
La Presse also notes the weather gradient in the area, as more of the precipitation turns to snow.

Winterpocalypse was a bit overrated but I there were a lot of very slippery roads in the city today. I tried to drive some people to work & school this morning but St Urbain was a death trap, I saw 3 accidents in 5 blocks & was drifting at every intersection, so switched over to Parc & kicked everyone out to go take the bus & went home. Later in the day I had an errand to run downtown so I took the bus myself, and the 80 was sliding the last 4 feet into every stop.
This was that sponge toffee precipitation I was talking about. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s ice all the way through and when compressed is super slippery.
