Freezing rain down, blowing snowfall, water ice pellets and warm winds ar prompting weather alerts for much of eastern Canada.
As of Monday morning, orange alerts — the second-highest level — are in place for Ontario, Quebec and some parts of Nova Scotia.
The Ottawa and Montreal areas could see up to 15 millimetres of ice accretion from freezing rain, starting Monday and ending Tuesday evening. Southwesterly winds of up to 70 kilometres per hour are also expected, with winds of up to 90 kilometres per hour in Montreal and the western parts of the island.
In Toronto, London and the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay regions, Environment and Climate Change Canada is warning of blizzard conditions with "dangerous snow squalls."
"An initial brief, intense snow squall is expected this morning along a cold front," the agency said, noting the snow, followed by a temperature drop could lead to icy surfaces and hazardous travel conditions. Northwesterly winds of 70 to 90 kilometres per hour will be in the mix, the warning said.

The north and south shores of the eastern St. Lawrence in Quebec could see between 40 and 60 centimetres of snow.
The weather agency is calling for extreme winds — up to 140 kilometres per hour — in northern Nova Scotia, particularly the northeastern tip of the province.
