Fredericton: So, it looks like Atlantic Canada is finally getting some snow! After a pretty dry season, two weather systems are rolling in this week that could really change things up.
The first system is expected to bring some light snow starting Wednesday. It’ll move through New Brunswick and then head into Newfoundland by Thursday. But don’t get too excited just yet; it’s mostly rain for places like Moncton and Saint John, with just a bit of snow in higher areas.
Then comes the big one! The second system is set to hit Friday night into Saturday. This one has the potential to dump a lot more snow, especially in southern New Brunswick and parts of Nova Scotia. We’re talking about 15-25 cm in some areas, which could make travel pretty tricky.
Weather alerts are already out for Nova Scotia and PEI, warning folks about the significant snowfall. It’s still a bit uncertain where the heaviest snow will land, but Halifax and Charlottetown are definitely in the mix.
And let’s not forget about the wind! It’s going to be breezy, which could lead to whiteout conditions and even some power outages. So, if you’re planning to travel, make sure to check the latest updates and be prepared for changing conditions.
After all this snow, colder temperatures will settle in, so whatever falls is likely to stick around for Christmas. Just a heads up, it might get a bit icy out there!
Stay safe and keep an eye on the weather as it unfolds!
