Brace for travel disruptions: Up to 10 cm of snow, 40-60 km/h winds in Quebec
Drivers in Quebec will need to be on alert for more winter weather Thursday, with another poorly timed burst of snow for the evening commute home
Thursday will see another round of snowfall push into southern and eastern Quebec in time for the afternoon and evening commutes. Motorists should brace for longer travel times.
"Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays," says Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
"Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance."

Brace for a slower drive home on Thursday
A storm tracking south of the border will edge just close enough to Canada to spill snowfall into southern and eastern Quebec on Thursday.
Flurries will pick up through the early afternoon hours, and will then become heavier by the afternoon commute. Roads will be slippery during this time, so travellers can expect delays and slowdowns.
Commuters in and around Montreal should ensure their vehicles are prepared for winter weather driving.
Accumulations won't be excessive by any means, but they will be high enough to disrupt travel. Widespread totals around 10 cm are expected.
Threat for blowing snow Friday
Conditions will then ease by Friday morning, with some flurries lingering in the region. Winds between 40-60 km/h could result in some blowing snow and further travel slowdowns during that time.
Temperatures will also cool with the winds, with wind chills into the -20s expected.
Eyes on a weekend storm with significant snow
Forecasters are also watching a Colorado low tracking south of the region Saturday night with widespread, significant snow possible into Sunday morning.
Temperatures will be very cold for a few days early next week. Colder-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate during mid-February. The pattern will stay active.
It is too early to know if that will mean substantial snow or if the storm track will be too far south of the region much of the time, but the pattern appears to be favourable for a couple of significant snowfalls during mid-month.
