A winter storm warning in parts of Ontario and Quebec is into its second day today as heavy snowfall is expected to further blanket the region.

The same conditions are expected in southeastern Ontario, with as much as an added 20 to 30 centimetres of snow expected to come down in the Ottawa area.

Environment Canada says conditions are expected to rapidly deteriorate and rapidly accumulating snow could make travel in some areas hazardous.

Strong winds and snow are also expected in parts of the Maritime provinces, with strong winds expected to last until Monday in some areas.
