It appears weather makers may not have received the memo about spring’s arrival over two weeks ago, with winter weather expected to hit overnight.

Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for much of southern Quebec, including Montreal.

The weather agency says between five and 15 millimetres of ice buildup is to be expected with freezing rain beginning overnight Sunday and continuing Monday.

Some areas could see up to 25 centimetres of snow, according to Environment Canada.

Officials are reminding motorists to adapt their driving to the prevailing weather conditions.
