Quebecers will have to take out their shovels to clear snow, while a first snowstorm left 15 to 20 centimeters of accumulations in most areas of the province.
The weather cocktail will bring 2 to 4 centimeters of freezing rain Monday morning, which will complicate traffic during rush hour, especially in Montreal, Laval and Montérégie.
Environment Canada is warning that pavements and sidewalks could become icy and slippery due to the ice storm that will turn to rain later in the day, due to above seasonal normal temperatures.
The winter storm warning issued by the federal agency concerns most areas of Quebec, particularly in the Laurentians, Lanaudière, Gatineau, Mauricie, Beauce, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and in the Capitale- National.
Additional accumulations of 5 to 10 centimeters are expected in these areas during the day on Monday.
The snowstorm will persist in the eastern part of the province through Monday evening and Tuesday morning with snow accumulations of up to 15 centimeters.
