Active AlertsCarleton Siding, PE

Significant snowfall, strong winds, and blowing snow are expected.

Potential snowfall: 15 to 25 cm.

Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 60 to 80 km/h.

Time span: Monday evening until near noon Tuesday.

Remarks: An intense low pressure system passing south then across eastern Nova Scotia is expected to bring significant snowfall, strong winds, and blowing snow Monday night and Tuesday morning. Snow may changeover to rain for eastern parts of the province early Tuesday morning. Higher than normal water levels are also expected along the northern and eastern coasts on Tuesday.

Snow accumulation may make travel slow or hazardous. Roads and walkways could become slippery and difficult to navigate. Strong winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility in blowing snow.

Plan ahead in case schools or scheduled activities are cancelled.

Make sure snow removal equipment (e.g., shovels or blowers) and supplies are prepared in advance.
