Storm to bring snow to the Maritimes Friday night [Video]

A developing storm moving northward just off the U.S. eastern seaboard looks likely to bring a heavy early winter snowfall to much of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the southeastern corner of New Brunswick.

Snowfall outlook

Largely unchanged from Wednesday, the heaviest snow looks most likely to fall across mainland Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the southeastern corner of New Brunswick.

Southeastern New Brunswick and P.E.I. are under special weather statements calling for possible snow amounts of 15-to-25 cms. Mainland Nova Scotia is under a snowfall warning with 15-to-30 cms of snow expected. The weather agency advises the public to monitor the forecast and future updates as we near the weather event.

I expect that in some areas the snow will approach 30 cm, or one foot of snow, that will pile higher in snow drifts.

Snow totals will be lower on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia as far …
