‘Don’t put your shovels away’: Nova Scotia preparing for another winter blast
Global News
As Cape Breton continues cleanup from a record-breaking snowfall earlier this month, the region is now preparing for another storm that is expected to hit Nova Scotia on Tuesday.
As Cape Breton continues cleanup from a record-breaking snowfall earlier this month which blocked roads and trapped people in their homes, the region is now preparing for another storm this week.
According to a winter storm watch from Environment Canada, another nor’easter is on the way, expected to bring 15 to 30 of snow across most of Nova Scotia by noon Wednesday.
“Currently, highest snowfall amounts are expected along the Atlantic coast,” it said.
“Any fresh snow from this system has the potential to combine with strengthening northerly winds to reduce visibilities in blowing snow, particularly on Tuesday night as temperatures drop after sunset.”
Environment Canada noted that “small changes in the storm track can result in large changes in the snowfall forecast,” and it will continue to provide updates to reflect the latest information.
Amanda McDougall, mayor of Cape Breton Regional Municipality, said crews are still working to clean up last weekend’s snowfall, where up to 150 centimetres of snow was dumped in some areas.
The extreme snowfall prompted a local state of emergency, which was lifted Sunday.
“There’s been incredible progress from both our municipal public works and provincial public works,” McDougall said.
