Wednesday
Snow continues Wednesday morning for areas along the Ottawa Valley with some rain and mixing in areas south of it.
Snow eases for Montreal in the early morning, with some mixed precipitation and even rain to conclude the system's march through.
By the afternoon, conditions will improve as the precipitation moves out.
In all, between 5-20 cm of snow is expected in the hardest-hit areas through Wednesday, with lesser amounts for places that see mixing or the rain. Snow accumulation could also be limited in certain areas since surface temperatures are high.
