FORECAST: 15-20+cm: Arctic air fuels heavy snow across Atlantic Canada through Friday
In the Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education, schools in the Municipality of East Hants as well as schools in Advocate and Parrsboro are closed.
CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon says between 10 and 20 centimetres are expected on Wednesday, with the highest amounts most likely to land along the Atlantic coastline, the Northumberland Shore and across Cape Breton.
Snoddon says with temperatures near and even slightly above freezing, the snow will be heavy to shovel and may be enough to weigh down some branches onto power lines. Power outages can’t be ruled out and folks should prepare accordingly, Snoddon says.
