Rapidly Strengthening Unexpected Winter Storm effects Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
Snow squall warning in effect for:
Yarmouth County
Snow squalls are expected. Visibilities will be rapidly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow.
Very cold northwesterly winds coming off the Bay of Fundy will give flurries at times heavy and snow squalls tonight and early Friday. Near zero
visibilities and significant snowfall accumulation are expected.
Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Prepare
for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.
Snow squall warnings are issued when bands of snow form that produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to
