The heavy snow will then continue through Wednesday evening before tapering into flurries on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the weather agency says snow will be heavy at times and winds of up to 50 km/h are also expected after midnight. A low of -7ºC is expected in the evening, which will feel more like -13ºC overnight.
"This snow is the result of a low-pressure system from the central United States that is forecast to track over Eastern Ontario Wednesday night," said Environment Canada.
The weather agency is advising drivers to adjust their driving with the changing road conditions.
"Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas."
