Quebec: Winter will continue in some areas, snow coming
Some areas in Quebec have the potential to get another blast of winter this weekend.
The calendar says April, but tell that to Mother Nature, who will bring snow to some areas of Quebec this weekend.
A clipper merging with a stateside storm will head for Quebec for the first part of the weekend, bringing the possibility of wet snow and rain for areas such as Montreal, but for communities in the north and east, snow is what will fall.

"Along the St. Lawrence [River], we will see the temperatures sitting around the zero-degree mark and this will keep the precipitation as possible wet snow for the Friday commute home," said meteorlogist Jaclyn Whittal.
