While much of the province will be hit by heavy snow, the agency is warning that freezing rain could affect southern Quebec, from Gatineau to the Eastern Townships. The freezing rain warning includes the Richelieu Valley, the greater Montreal area, Saint-Jérôme and Drummondville. The freezing rain will start around midnight and end Tuesday morning, Environment Canada says. Temperatures will hover around –5 C throughout the day with heavy snow beginning around 9 p.m."Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve," Environment Canada warns. "Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow."
