Strong easterly winds are also gusting at times to 70 kilometres per hour to create poor visibilities in blowing snow. Winds are expected to diminish on Wednesday afternoon, according to the agency.
Environment Canada advised motorists that rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult and visibility may be suddenly reduced at times.
