Freezing rain is expected to make travel difficult across much of the Maritimes at the beginning of the Easter long weekend, with some areas also facing significant snowfall.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada has issued a mix of freezing rain and snowfall warnings across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, cautioning that icy roads, reduced visibility and slippery surfaces could create hazardous travel conditions.<\/p>\n
Nova Scotia<\/p>\n
In Victoria County and Inverness County, including Mabou and north, a snowfall warning is in effect from Friday afternoon until Saturday morning, with about 15 centimetres of snow expected.<\/p>\n
For much of the rest of the province, freezing rain warnings are in place, with freezing rain expected to last up to eight hours before tapering off later today.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada warns that roads and walkways may become icy and slippery, increasing the risk of injury due to slips and falls. People are urged to use caution when walking or driving.<\/p>\n
New Brunswick<\/p>\n
In northern New Brunswick, a snowfall warning is in effect for Friday, with total accumulations of 15 to 25 centimetres expected.<\/p>\n
“Travel will likely be challenging. Visibility will likely be reduced at times. Allow extra time for travel,” the weather agency says.<\/p>\n
Much of the rest of the province is under freezing rain warnings, with precipitation expected to last up to 12 hours and continue into the evening.<\/p>\n
Prince Edward Island<\/p>\n
A freezing rain warning is in effect for all of Prince Edward Island.<\/p>\n
Freezing rain is expected to last between four and eight hours, possibly longer, with amounts of two to four millimetres forecast from Friday evening until early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
“Snow and ice pellets will change to freezing rain this evening then to rain or freezing rain overnight. Precipitation will change briefly to snow before ending Saturday morning,” the warning says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[242,85,46,141],"class_list":{"0":"post-373271","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-science"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
