Environment Canada is predicting strong winds, heavy snowfall and possible flash freezing from the major winter storm that’s hitting Ontario and Quebec today.

The agency has issued weather warnings for much of the two provinces.

Rain was followed by plummeting temperatures this morning in parts of southern Ontario, which the weather agency says could result in flash-freezing conditions.
