The systems follow each other…
Two systems combined to deposit nearly 40 cm of snow in southern Quebec, and one of these systems continues its very slow course towards the east of the province as well as in the Maritimes. It will therefore be the turn of Chaleur Bay and the regions between Nova Scotia and Gaspé to receive their fair dose of snow, to form a good snowfall of up to 30 cm, the second in a single week.
The storm hits a wall
A deadlock situation slows down progress. The low is stagnating over the Maritimes due to the presence of no less than three highs. It is therefore treading water and gradually migrating eastward. It will leave behind an additional dose of snow, as well as winds and gusts during the day Monday until late in the evening.
Snow loves hills
The eastern part of the Gaspé Peninsula will be the most affected in terms of accumulations. Up to 25 cm of snow is expected in the Gaspé region. Eastern New Brunswick will also be spoiled on the white carpet side, with up to 40 cm in certain sectors.
Waterlogged snow
Due to temperatures close to the freezing point, waterlogged snow will bury the Gaspésie. The stagnant aspect of the system and the northeasterly direction of the wind will be factors that will contribute to the generous supply of snow.
