The first major winter storm of 2019 brought much of eastern Quebec to a standstill on Thursday. More than 40 centimetres of snow fell overnight in the Gaspé region, while the North Shore received closer to 20 centimetres. Traffic on the North Shore, between Sept-Îles and Baie-Johan Beetz, was also halted. Snow clearing operations will continue on Thursday evening in Quebec City, where 25 centimetres of snow have fallen over the past 48 hours.
