Hazardous winter conditions are expected.
Locations: most of northeastern Nova Scotia.
Additional Snowfall: 50 to 80 cm.
Time span: continuing until Monday.
Remarks: A low pressure system has stalled south of Nova Scotia resulting in a prolonged period of heavy snow, which will persist into Monday. Conditions will deteriorate further on Sunday as winds increase and snowfall rates intensify, with blowing snow reducing visibilities.
30 to 50 cm of snow can be expected by Sunday morning, with a further 30 to 50 cm possible by Monday morning. The snow will be wet and heavy, which in combination with strong winds, could lead to utility outages.
Snow will taper to flurries throughout the day on Monday.
Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.
Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Winter storm warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.
