It will be bitter cold. All of my visits to Montreal have been in January & February (I know, I know), and it hasn't stopped me from walking around. Just be prepared for very very cold weather. I was there in February, and with the windchill it was something ridiculous like -40C. You most definitely need to have something to cover your head.
