Significant snowfall set for Saturday in the Maritimes
CBC
Pre-Christmas travel plans will be impacted this weekend as a nor'easter beginning Friday night will bring significant snowfall to much of the Maritimes.
The exact track of the storm will be key to the forecast. However, as of now, most of mainland Nova Scotia, as well as P.E.I. and southeastern New Brunswick, will land in the significant snow zone, with 15-to-30 centimetres of snow expected.
The storm is looking set to move to the north with clearing skies and better travel conditions on Sunday. That said, onshore flurries will likely remain in the mix right into Monday for the Northumberland Shore, Cape Breton and also P.E.I.
High pressure moving into the region will bring calm and quiet weather conditions with better weather for travel right through Christmas Day and possibly beyond.
A white Christmas has been hard to come by in the region over the past few decades. However, it appears most of the Maritimes will see one this year. The snow that falls on Saturday will be sticking around as cold temperatures will arrive in the region in the wake of the storm.
