The cleanup continues following the latest blast of winter weather to move through the region on Sunday night.
Environment Canada meteorologist Jill Maepea said the heaviest snow in New Brunswick fell along the Fundy coast.
Maepea said Dorchester picked up 35 centimetres of snow, but most areas saw between 15 and 20 centimetres.
“Moncton and Saint John both recorded 21 centimetres, the Sussex area saw 20 centimetres, and down toward St. Stephen we saw 14 centimetres,” said Maepea.
The storm led to school closures across southern New Brunswick, including the Anglophone South and East school districts, along with part of the Francophone South School District.
For those who are not a fan of snow, Maepea said we fared pretty well compared to our counterparts in Nova Scotia.
“They definitely faced the brunt of the storm,” she said. “We’ve had reports of over 40 centimetres in several locales in Nova Scotia.”
Maepea said we will see a reprieve from stormy weather over the next few days, which will help with the cleanup from this most recent storm.
“But it’s probably the first week we’ll actually feel like winter,” she said. “We’re expecting a cooler airmass in behind this system.”
Temperatures are expected to be a few degrees below normal over the coming days. The latest forecast calls for clouds and scattered flurries heading into the weekend.
