Hopefully you don’t have anywhere to go today, because most of Saint John is snowed in.
Gelas Duguay, a meteorologist from Environment Canada, says the worst of the snowfall is mostly over, but there’s still snow coming. He says we’ve received as much as 15 cm of snow at the airport that started late overnight. Duguay says the heaviest of the snow fall will end around 8:30 am, but we will continue to get 5-6 cm of lighter snow throughout the day. Although the snowfall will end tonight, we’ll still have strong winds up to 70 kilometers an hour.
The winter blast is dumping as much as 30 cm of snow across Nova Scotia, PEI and southern and eastern New Brunswick. It will then head to Newfoundland, bringing winds gusting up to 140 kilometers an hour.
The high will be zero today, with a low of minus 12 for tonight.
The Princess of Acadia ferry crossing the Bay of Fundy has been cancelled for the day because of the storm. City transit says buses will start running at 10 am, but warn to expect delays and service may be stopped if the weather gets worse. Delays and cancellations have started at the airport.
