Environment Canada has issued weather advisories for four provinces over freezing rain, poor air quality and heavy snowfall.

Peak snowfall rates could reach two to three centimetres per hour, potentially setting a one-day snowfall record.Environment Canada's winter storm warning also includes the risk of brief periods of freezing rain or ice pellets on Tuesday morning.
