Snow continues for the East Coast with another 5-10 cm en route
A second low will reinforce an additional burst of snow across the Maritimes and Newfoundland into Wednesday, leading to more tricky travel for motorists
This week's wintry, or "sprinter" weather, as some folks like to call it, in Atlantic Canada is nothing unusual for this time of the year.
In fact, some of the latest snowfalls for the region have been reported in June.

After Tuesday's first round of snowfall, which led to school closures and slower commutes in Halifax, N.S., and other locales, the second of two lows will bring an additional burst of the white stuff through Wednesday morning before easing. Expect similar, tricky road conditions again as the snow leads to slower commutes.
Stay up to date on the weather warnings in your area, and always check the road conditions before heading out. Spring snow may catch some drivers off guard, especially those who have already removed snow tires.
Second low brings more wintry weather to the East Coast
The secondary low will bring more snow to the southern Maritimes through Wednesday.
The second system will also bring snow to western Newfoundland Tuesday overnight, continuing into Wednesday afternoon before gradually easing.

While this next round won't be as significant as the first shot, commuters can anticipate more travel impacts into Wednesday morning as the roads will be slippery.
Additional snow will be on the lighter side, but will be enough to coat surfaces.
Amounts of 5-10 cm are expected for most areas in Nova Scotia, about 5 cm for New Brunswick and P.E.I., and approximately 5 cm for Newfoundland, as well.
