Quebec’s Abitibi region buried by March storm estimated to bring up to 50 cm of snow
Up to 50 cm of snow expected with freezing rain causing closures and suspended services across Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Environment Canada said.
- On Tuesday, Environment Canada issued an orange winter storm warning for the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, with snow forecast to reach 50 cm and freezing rain.
- Describing the system as 'a big one,' Environment Canada meteorologist Julien Pellerin noted that less-populated areas in Quebec could get up to 50 cm of snow.
- Municipal services suspended in Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d'Or, while Lebel-sur-Quévillon shut its local airport after nearly 45 cm of snow. Pellerin called it 'a big one' and described regional challenges.
- Crews are leaving snow on the ground, Lafrenière said, to absorb rain and prevent ice formation amid wild temperature swings.
- Temperatures are expected to remain at or below zero until early April, which may reduce immediate flooding risks, while regional health authorities said some home visits could be postponed.
