While still too early to tell, with fluctuating temperatures overnight the weather agency says freezing rain is a possibility.

“While the scenario is becoming clearer, there is still some uncertainty regarding the quantities of different types of precipitation to be received,” a statement reads.

Environment Canada warns driving conditions could be hazardous and advises postponing non-essential travel.

The latest advisory comes after the Greater Montreal area received upwards of 15 centimetres of snow over the weekend.
