Montreal is getting a fresh layer of snow this week, a sign that winter is far from over. Despite a warmer-than-usual season that has seen the city get a fraction of its typical snowfall, the forecast suggests there will be a return to chillier conditions this month.

A low pressure system from the north is set to bring a drop in temperatures across Quebec, including Montreal. The change will not only cover the city in a new blanket of snow but also cause a significant melt over the weekend, followed by a refreeze midweek. The cycle is expected to create hazardous ice patches on roads and sidewalks, potentially complicating commutes for both drivers and pedestrians.

While Montreal officially received its first snowstorm of the season in early December, it appears as if we won't be having another snowfall for quite a while, ruling out the possibility of a white Christmas in Montreal.

Despite snow wreaking havoc on the city, affecting driving conditions and sidewalks, there's nothing quite like waking up on Christmas morning to the sight of a subtle snowfall. Well, for Montrealers hoping for that to be the case this year, it seems as if the holiday magic won't be in effect this year.
