Montrealers are in for messy weather Tuesday evening.
After a day of freezing drizzle, there is more rain in store this evening, which will turn to snow, then back to freezing rain, before turning into snow again by Wednesday morning.
"If the snow isn't cleaned Wednesday, it will turn into sculptures by Thursday, when temperatures are expected to plummet to lows around – 21 C or – 22 C," said CBC Montreal's weather specialist, Frank Cavallero.
"The weekend will be very cold and very dry."
