Quebec snow pushes Montreal closer to an all-time January record
The recent snowfall has brought Montreal close to its all-time, snowiest January recorded at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL).
The record is a whopping 95.1 cm of snowfall, recorded at the airport in January 1999.
Through Jan. 27 this year, Montreal has recorded over 78.6 cm of snowfall.
It's unusual that the city is close to breaking this record given the average temperature for January was nearly five degrees above normal.
Snowfall will continue into Monday morning across southern Quebec, providing a short break before light precipitation fills in throughout the afternoon.

Temperatures are forecast to plunge throughout the week once the snowfall wraps up with daytime highs stuck in the negative double digits. Montreal could see temperatures as frigid as -20°C for a daytime high for the first time this winter. The last time Montreal had a daytime high below -10°C was Feb. 28, 2022.
Looking ahead, Montreal is expected to see milder temperatures with the chance of some snowfall going into the second week of February.
