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.
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.
Nova Scotia
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.
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.
