In Nova Scotia, Annapolis and Kings counties were under a freezing rain warning Sunday morning, with precipitation expected to change to a mix of snow and ice in the afternoon as temperatures drop. 

Environment Canada says roads and walkways will be slippery around the areas and urges caution. 

A snowfall warning in New Brunswick predicts up to 25 centimetres of snow through Monday morning.
