MONTREAL - After a cold, snowy Christmas, southern Quebec is expected to get hit by freezing rain over the weekend before temperatures rise further to usher in the new year.

A major weather system from the southern United States will bring a period of freezing rain or drizzle starting Saturday evening in the St. Lawrence Valley, from the Montreal area northeast to Trois-Rivi猫res and Quebec City, Environment Canada says.
