A handful of interventions for road exits have been listed along Highway 10, among others near Marieville and Chambly.
According to the spokesperson for the Ministry of Transport Christian Fortin, the roadway was snow-covered from Marieville to Sherbrooke, with reduced visibility in places.
The situation was similar north of the river, especially on Highway 50 near Lachute, noted Mr. Fortin.
On the other hand, motorists in the metropolis were rather entitled to a wet roadway.
However, no cases of serious injury had been reported by mid-morning.
A few centimeters of snow fell on the metropolitan area during the night, adding to those received in the last days and causing blowing snow in places in the countryside. Another 2 to 4 centimeters are expected to add during the afternoon, while the precipitation should end during the evening.
