11:05 AM AST Thursday 03 February 2022

Rainfall warning in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West

Rainfall, combined with melting snow, is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

Significant rainfall expected for southwestern Nova Scotia.

Total rainfall: 30 to 60 mm.

Locations: Halifax area through to southwestern Nova Scotia.

Time Span: tonight through Saturday.

Remarks: Periods of rain today will intensify tonight and continue through Friday and Friday night. Inland areas will see significant freezing rain and freezing rainfall warnings are in effect for some counties. Precipitation will change to snow Saturday morning then taper off to scattered flurries Saturday afternoon.

Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.

11:04 AM AST Thursday 03 February 2022

Freezing rain warning in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West

A winter storm will bring an extended period of potentially severe freezing rain.

Locations: most of Nova Scotia.

Time Span: tonight through Saturday.

Remarks: Periods of rain will transition to freezing rain and ice pellets later tonight or Friday morning. Freezing rain will become heavy at times and continue through Friday evening into Saturday morning. Current guidance indicates a risk of significant ice accretion on surfaces by Saturday morning.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots will become icy, slippery and extremely hazardous. Beware of branches or electrical wires that could break under the weight of ice. Extended and widespread utility outages are possible.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.

Hazardous winter conditions are expected.

Total snow and ice pellet accumulation: up to 30 cm.

Locations: Cumberland and Colchester counties.

Time span: this evening until Saturday morning.

The highest snowfall accumulations are forecast over western Cumberland counties, near Chignecto Bay and the New Brunswick border, while the rest of Cumberland and Colchester counties can expect an extended period of ice pellets beginning early Friday morning and continuing through to Saturday morning. There is also a risk of freezing rain across the region in the early hours on Friday.

Snow and ice pellets will taper to flurries Saturday morning.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.

Winter storm warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.

11:03 AM AST Thursday 03 February 2022

Winter storm warning in effect for:

Queens County P.E.I.

A major winter storm is expected.

Total snowfall: 30 to 50 cm.

Locations: Prince Edward Island.

Time span: this evening until Saturday morning.

Remarks: Periods of rain today will transition to snow this evening. Snow will become heavy at times overnight, and continue through the day Friday and into Saturday.

The highest snowfall accumulations are expected in Prince County, while current guidance suggests that southern areas of Queens County and Kings County can expect an extended period of ice pellets mixing with the snow beginning early Friday morning and continuing through to Saturday morning which would result in lesser snowfall totals.

Snow and ice pellets will taper to flurries Saturday afternoon.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.

Winter storm warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to PEstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #PEStorm.

10:52 AM AST Thursday 03 February 2022

Snowfall warning in effect for:

Woodstock and Carleton County

Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 35 cm is expected.

Locations: Northern half of New Brunswick.

Time span: This afternoon until Saturday morning.

Remarks: Periods of rain will transition to snow in dropping temperatures from north to south today. Snow is expected to become heavy at times this evening into Friday. Given the fluffy nature of the snow, blowing snow in exposed areas is possible. Snow will taper to flurries early Saturday morning.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.

Snowfall warnings are issued when significant snowfall is expected.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NBstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NBStorm.

10:51 AM AST Thursday 03 February 2022

Winter storm warning in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County

Hazardous winter conditions are expected.

Total snowfall: 30 to 50 cm.

Locations: Southern half of New Brunswick.

Time span: This evening until Saturday morning.

Remarks: Periods of rain will transition to snow this afternoon into the evening. Rapidly dropping temperatures will cause standing water to freeze by late evening.

Snow is then forecast to begin rapidly accumulating overnight through Friday night. With the fluffy nature of the snow, blowing snow will be possible in exposed locations on Friday into Friday night.

Snowfall accumulations will be limited along the immediate Fundy coastline where significant ice pellets will mix with snow through Friday morning. Conditions are expected to improve by early Saturday morning as snow tapers to flurries.

Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
