Environment Canada issued a special weather statement on Sunday morning, warning residents in Nova Scotia to expect more snow to fall on Monday.
The national forecaster says an Alberta Clipper will approach the province on Monday, bringing snowfall amounts in the range of 5-15 centimetres.
The statement says snow will begin Monday morning, starting first in the southwestern portions of Nova Scotia before moving across the rest of the province through the morning hours, which could impact the morning commute.
The forecast is calling for the highest accumulations in areas of mainland Nova Scotia and in Cape Breton later in the afternoon, as well as wind gusts up to 70 kilometres per hour.
Strong winds associated with the system could also create snow squall conditions in areas along the Northumberland Strait, creating visibility problems at times.
Monday’s weather forced the cancellation of classes in a number of Regional Centres for Education outside of HRM. Annapolis Valley, Chignecto-Central, Strait and Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centres for Education were closed for the day due to weather.
