The weather agency adds that “travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather.”
The snowfall is on top of several centimetres of snow that’s fallen since late last week, leaving the London region blanketed in snow.
Locally, the forecast is calling for a high of 3 C and overnight low of -3 C. Forecasters say flurries could turn to rain Tuesday afternoon before the temperature drops in the evening.
