CBC
Moncton and the rest of southeastern New Brunswick saw the region's first winter storm overnight Friday.
The weather system brought five to 10 centimetres of snow, but an additional 10 to 15 centimetres is expected through Saturday, according to Environment Canada.
The storm did not impact Fredericton and Saint John in the same way, with those cities seeing only a few centimetres of snowfall overnight.
As of 9:30 a.m. Saturday, N.B. Power was not reporting any outages.
Air Canada is advising travellers of winter operating conditions for all New Brunswick airports. Passengers are advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
A wind warning advisory is in place for the Confederation Bridge between N.B. and P.E.I., which may result in traffic restrictions being put in place until 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Environment Canada says strong winds will also lead to reduced visibility throughout the day Saturday, especially along exposed areas of the coast. Wind gusts up to 70 km/h are expected, with the wind chill dipping to -15 in the afternoon.
Residents of southeastern N.B. are advised to consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
