The forecaster says snow will be heavy at times Sunday night that will continue into Monday afternoon or evening, with 10 to 15cm expected, possibly more in higher elevations.

Snow may change to rain for parts of the Atlantic coast as well as Cape Breton.

Environment Canada warns about hazardous driving conditions, possible school closures or delayed openings and cancellations.
