There’s a bit of snow to clear this morning, and more is expected, as the snowfall warning continues.

It was -6C at 6:30 a.m. and the temperature is expected to remain around there for the day, with snow (at times heavy) and ice pellets making roads and walkways dangerous. It will drop to about -11C tonight, with periods of snow. A total of 15-25 cm of snow and ice pellets is expected.

Wednesday will include sun and cloud, with a temperature around -7C, going down to -11C overnight.

Because of the storm, schools are closed for the day.
