Darren CalabreseHALIFAX - Parts of Atlantic Canada are under weather warnings as a Nor鈥檈aster bears down on the region.聽
Environment Canada has most of Nova Scotia under a snowfall warning, with up to 25 centimetres of heavy, wet snow expected.聽
Jason Sheppard, meteorologist with Environment Canada, says the storm is developing near Cape Cod this evening and will push precipitation up through most of Nova Scotia.聽
鈥淚t's going to come in the form of some light snow, maybe even some rain,鈥 Sheppard said. 鈥淭hat snow is going to continue right throughout the evening and to the early part of Monday morning, where most areas are going to see about 15 to 20 centimetres.鈥澛
The weather agency warns that conditions will be messy and power outages may occur.聽
While the bulk of the storm will hit Nova Scotia, the rest of the Atlantic region will also feel the impact.聽
鈥淪outheastern New Brunswick, eastern P.E.I., and that same system will spill over into Newfoundland overnight into Monday, so they're also going to see some snow, and probably some rain out toward the Avalon Peninsula,鈥 said Sheppard.聽
Central and eastern Newfoundland are also under warnings for strong winds with up to 100 kilometres per hour along the coast expected.
Sheppard says temperatures should stay cool through the middle of week, meaning the snow will likely stick around. Toward the end of the week, Sheppard says temperatures will likely hit that freezing mark or just above. 鈥淚f that鈥檚 the case, we may lose a little bit of the snowpack.鈥澛
Halifax Regional Municipality is getting ready for the storm.聽
In a news release, they say they are enforcing the overnight parking ban from Sunday into Monday to 鈥渁llow crews to properly clear streets and sidewalks.鈥 Vehicles must be off city streets between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday morning.聽
Sheppard says while the snow may be messy, there are some upsides.聽
鈥淭here鈥檚 a chance that snow is going to be pretty heavy, pretty sticky,鈥 Sheppard said. 鈥淪o if some kids get the day off (of school) tomorrow, it鈥檚 probably good snow to make a snowman.鈥
