Residents in HRM are waking up to a messy morning after much of the Atlantic region was under winter storm warnings yesterday and last night.
Environment Canada has ended those warnings, but many provincial highways remain snow-covered and slippery heading toward the Halifax area.
City crews have been working overnight clearing streets and sidewalks.
95.7’s Meteorologist Alistair Aalders says we can expect a few more flurries in HRM this morning.
“We are now pretty much behind the system in the Halifax area with the system pushing off to the east,” said Aalders. “If you are travelling today, the snow will be lingering a bit longer in the north and in the east.”
Aalders says today looks mostly cloudy for HRM, but snow squalls and poor visibility remain factors in areas north of us.
Some schools within HRCE were closed for the day while others saw a delayed opening. Students at Bay View High, Eastern Shore District High, Marine Drive and Musquodoboit Rural High School were closed. All other schools within HRCE were delayed opening by 2 hours
The Sunday storm also forced some cancellations and delays around the region. Classes will be delayed by two hours today in the South Shore Regional Centre for Education. Schools closed in West Hants area & school families of Horton, NKEC, Central Kings within the Annapolis Valley Regional Centre for Education. All classes were cancelled on Monday with the Chignecto-Central, Strait and Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centres for Education.
