The nasty side of Old Man Winter continues today as freezing rain, blowing snow and strong winds are expected to slam areas in Eastern Canada, from Ontario to Newfoundland and Labrador.

Environment Canada says most of Ontario can expect a mixed bag of precipitation, ranging from freezing rain in Ottawa to heavy snow along Lake Superior and up to 60 centimetres in Timmins. Multiple stretches of highways in the Timmins area and other parts of northern Ontario were closed Monday morning as the winter storm batters the region.
