A low pressure system over the Eastern Seaboard of the United States will drift northeastward today and Monday. Precipitation has begun over most of New Brunswick and will spread to northeastern areas near noon then persist into Monday evening. Generally heavy snow and blowing snow is expected over Northern New Brunswick with a mixture of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain expected over central regions. Over the south generally rain or freezing rain is expected but this will become ice pellets later on Monday. Due to the slow movement of this system all precipitation forms will give significant accumulations over their respective regions. Total snowfall of up to 45 centimetres is expected in the north while many hours and significant accumulation of freezing rain and ice pellets are expected over central and southern regions. Additionally up to 55 millimetres of rain is expected over southern regions.
