Messy weekend storm brings ice, snow to New Brunswick – New Brunswick [Video]

A winter storm left New Brunswick residents wondering when spring is really coming.

“I wish it hadn’t been so icy, you know, nice, fluffy snow would have been better,” Fredericton resident Christina Stonehouse said.

The storm began with snow on the afternoon of March 23 before it turned to rain overnight in parts of New Brunswick.

By the morning of March 24, layers of ice covered the ground, trees and cars in Fredericton. Stonehouse said her son got home late and didn’t have time to knock the slush off his car. By the morning, it was ice.

“It was frozen pretty solid, I had to go at it with a steel chisel to break it off, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to turn the tires at all,” she said.
