Significant snowfall expected for central, eastern Nova Scotia starting Friday night
HALIFAX, N.S. — A significant snowstorm is expected to hit central and eastern Nova Scotia starting Friday night into early next week.
Environment Canada predicts a major system is expected to bring heavy snowfall, blowing snow and gusty winds to the regions, which may reduce visibility on the road and create hazardous driving conditions.
The Nova Scotia government is advising residents to monitor local weather forecasts and avoid unnecessary travel. Those who must travel should visit 511 Nova Scotia for road conditions.
