Ontario and Quebec Hit by Second Major Snowstorm in a Week
So, here we are again—another massive snowstorm slamming into Ontario and Quebec, just days after the last one. If you thought you were done digging out your driveway, think again. The weekend storm brought heavy snowfall, causing travel chaos across the region. City cleanup crews, already stretched thin from the previous storm, are struggling to keep up, while residents brace themselves for even more snow.
Flights were a complete mess. By Sunday afternoon, hundreds of flights had been canceled at Toronto Pearson, as well as airports in Ottawa and Montreal. Travelers hoping to escape the winter weather found themselves stuck in long lines, desperately trying to rebook flights. Some, like Tom James and Dorothy Santos, weren’t so lucky. Their flight was canceled, making them miss their Miami cruise—an expensive and frustrating ordeal, especially without travel insurance.

And it wasn’t just airports feeling the impact. Roads across southern Ontario and Quebec became treacherous, with Environment Canada issuing storm warnings, cautioning against hazardous travel conditions. Quebec saw intense snowfall, with Montreal’s Lachine district already accumulating 80 centimeters this month—almost double the usual amount. The city’s snow removal teams are working non-stop, but even they are struggling to keep up.
Another problem? A road salt shortage. With frequent smaller snowfalls earlier in the season, supplies are running low, forcing contractors to ration salt. The issue isn’t just in Canada—similar shortages have been reported in parts of New York as well.
Despite the chaos, some people are making the best of it. Families have been seen enjoying snow-covered parks, kids climbing giant snowbanks, and even a few dedicated pet owners taking their dogs out for winter fun. But for many, this storm is yet another reminder of how intense Canadian winters can be.
So, if you’re in Ontario or Quebec, buckle up—there’s still plenty of winter left, and who knows what’s coming next?
