15 cm of snow headed our way Thursday
Federal weather service issues special statement about major snowfall expected in two days
Environment and Climate Change Canada’s weather service is warning of a significant snowfall for later in the week that could be substantial enough to affect travel conditions.
The federal service issued a special weather statement at 5:17 a.m. Tuesday, alerting the public of the potential for a lot of snow for Thursday.
“Snow will begin Thursday morning and ending Thursday evening,” it said.
“Total amounts are likely to exceed 15 centimetres for some areas.”
Almost all areas of New Brunswick are subject to the special weather statements. The only ones excluded are Saint John and the southern shore of the province.
“Travel could become difficult as heavy snow may come during busy traffic hours,” the alert said. “Motorists should be prepared for winter driving conditions.”
