MONTREAL | The winter has made a comeback noticed, on Sunday morning, while a carpet of white snow began to accumulate rapidly on the streets of the metropolis and its surroundings in the morning.

According to Environment Canada, between five and ten centimeters of snow and sleet were expected to arrive in Montreal on Sunday. However, the Montreal deterred by the flakes can rejoice, since the precipitation should change to rain during the day, while the mercury will rise up to 5 °C.

The wind will also be of the party, with gusts reaching 60 km/h in the afternoon.

On the side of Quebec, up to 10 cm of snow are expected to accumulate throughout the day. However, the temperature does not exceed -3 °C, so the precipitation should not change shape during the day. Winds blowing up to 60 km/ might also cause blowing snow, disrupting travel by car.

The early spring which marked the last week will quickly be back on his rights as soon as Monday, with the sun and 5 °C in Montréal. The thermometer should show, day, temperatures above the freezing point throughout the week, both in the metropolis and in the National Capital.
