8:38 PM AST Monday 22 January 2018
Freezing rain warning in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
Freezing rain is expected or occurring.

A low pressure system will approach from the Great Lakes on Tuesday and then track across northern New Brunswick Tuesday night.

Snow associated with this system will begin later tonight, but will change to ice pellets and freezing rain during the day Tuesday and continue over the northern half of the province well into Tuesday evening. Most of New Brunswick will see between 4 and 8 hours of ice pellets and freezing rain before changing to rain from south to north.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break.

Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
