Get ready for a wild ride, Maritimes! Environment Canada has issued a special weather warning, starting Sunday morning and lasting through Monday, bringing a messy and unpredictable winter weather system to the region.
New Brunswick is in for a snowy start, with 10 to 20 centimeters of snow expected, possibly more in the northeast. But that's not all - the snow will later transform into ice pellets and freezing rain in the southern parts of the province. Strong winds will add to the chaos, reducing visibility, especially in the northeast.
Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) will experience a similar pattern, starting with snow, then switching to ice pellets and freezing rain by Sunday evening. The weather will take a turn early Monday morning, with more snow and strong winds.
Nova Scotia, while not entirely covered by the weather statement, will still face some challenges. Northern Nova Scotia will see snow, which will gradually change to ice pellets, freezing rain, and finally rain by late Sunday afternoon or early evening. Higher-terrain areas, like the Cobequid Pass, may take longer to transition to rain.
This chaotic weather system is a reminder of the unpredictability of winter. Stay tuned for further updates and be prepared for a wild ride across the Maritimes!
