The cold-front will cause "winter-like storms" to sweep through parts of Ontario and Quebec. Environment Canada has released special weather statements for areas such as Prescott, Russell, and Cornwall. 

"There remains some uncertainty as to how long the snow will last on Thursday and how much will accumulate. Forecast guidance suggests snowfall accumulations anywhere from 5 to 15 cm," Environment Canada warns.

Thankfully, things will clear up by Easter weekend with sunshine and double-digits forecasted for much of Ontario.
