Early-week winter storm likely to bring travel, school disruptions

By Sunday night, snowfall becomes steady across the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Winds along the coast pick up to 30-60 km/h, increasing the risk for reduced visibility and local, blowing snow conditions.

Monday and Tuesday: More disruptions likely as snow pushes east

On Monday, snow has the potential to mix with ice pellets along the coast as temperatures hover near the freezing mark. However, locales inland will remain as all snowfall.

Snowfall lightens across the Halifax area, but remains locally heavy across southeastern Nova Scotia, including southern Cape Breton, where more bursts of heavy snow are forecast through Monday evening.

Very little snowfall accumulation is expected for New Brunswick and P.E.I. Up to 5 cm is possible for southwestern New Brunswick and 1-3 cm for P.E.I.

Heavier, widespread totals of 10-15 cm are forecast for most of Nova Scotia from Sunday night to Monday night. Lower totals are expected for the Annapolis Valley and those near the Northumberland Strait.
