4:56 AM AST Tuesday 29 November 2016
Snowfall warning in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
A low pressure system approaching from the west will track across southern New England tonight and cross southwestern Nova Scotia on Wednesday.

Snow will spread across the province by early this evening and end Wednesday morning. Total snowfall amounts near 20 cm are forecast for much of

the southern half of New Brunswick.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. There may be a

significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.

Snowfall warnings are issued when significant snowfall is expected.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to

ec.weatheraspc.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports to #NBStorm.

4:42 AM AST Tuesday 29 November 2016
Special weather statement in effect for:

Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick
A low pressure system approaching from the west will track across southern New England tonight and cross southwestern Nova Scotia on Wednesday.

Snow will spread across the province by early this evening and end Wednesday morning.

While snowfall amounts are expected to remain below 15 cm in northern and eastern New brunswick there is still a chance they could be higher if this

system shifts in its expected track. Snowfall warnings are already in effect for most of southern New Brunswick.

In addition, another weather system will impact New Brunswick later Wednesday night and Thursday. Latest indications show a potential for

significant snowfall over the northern half of the province with mainly rain likely for the southern half. Further details and any warnings if required

will likely be issued later today or early Wednesday.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to

ec.weatheraspc.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports to #NBStorm.

3:36 AM AST Tuesday 29 November 2016
Special weather statement in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
A low pressure system will approach the Maritimes tonight and then move across southwestern Nova Scotia on Wednesday. Snow will spread across

the region ahead of the low tonight and then likely change to rain through the course of Wednesday morning. Some coastal areas will see mostly rain

with this system.

Some higher elevations of central and northern regions of the province could see 10 to 15 cm of snow with lesser amounts over western and eastern

portions of the province.

There are still uncertainties with respect to the amount of snow so it is important to continue to monitor forecasts and bulletins for updates.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to
