Ice accretion on the ground and road surfaces is expected to be variable, as the ground is still relatively warm.

However, icy conditions are possible, especially on elevated surfaces like bridges, overpasses, and untreated roadways.Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may also become icy and slippery.

Further north, the Algonquin area may also receive 5 to 10 cm of snow by Tuesday morning.
