After a warm, dry summer and a rather rainy fall, snow is falling in parts of Ontario and Quebec with forecasts showing some areas could receive a heavy dusting.

Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning on Sunday for parts of Ontario stretching from Belleville northeast to Ottawa, with between 10 to 20 centimetres of snow expected. Officials caution peak snowfall could fall at a rate of two to five centimetres per hour.

Similar amounts will also be seen in parts of southern and central Quebec, including Gatineau, Montreal, Quebec City all the way up to Baie-Comeau. Montreal, for example, could get nearly 10 centimetres through Monday.

According to officials, both provinces under snowfall warnings should expect the heaviest snow to occur late Sunday afternoon into the evening.
