Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings across coastal counties from Yarmouth to Sydney, as well as Pictou and Antigonish counties.
“Gusty northeast winds accompanying the snow may cause reduced visibility at times in blowing snow over exposed areas,” the warning reads.
“Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.”
Up to 15 centimetres is expected as the snow continues.
All schools across the province are closed.
