9:43 PM AST Thursday 02 March 2023

Snowfall warning in effect for:

Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County

Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 25 cm is expected.

Locations: most of Nova Scotia.

Time span: tonight into Friday morning.

Remarks: Conditions will begin to improve over western sections overnight, and then around daybreak over central regions, and later in the morning in the east.

Over parts of northern and eastern Nova Scotia, the light and fluffy nature of the snowfall may lead to drifting with increased variance in snowfall totals over short distances. In addition, strong northwesterly winds will develop over Cape Breton Friday afternoon resulting in reduced visibilities in blowing snow.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

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.
