'Winter hits early, surprisingly hard
Hundreds stuck overnight in vehicles on the Cobequid Pass
By CHRIS LAMBIE Staff Reporter and The Canadian Press
Thu. Nov 20 - 7:37 AM
A blast of winter weather closed the Cobequid Pass on Wednesday and made for slippery driving across Nova Scotia.
Hundreds of people spent the night stuck in their vehicles in on the stretch of highway s a severe snowstorm hit the province dumping as much at 15 centimetres over higher elevations.
At one point RCMP estimate as many as 1,500 cars were backed up along a three kilometre stretch of the four lane divided highway.
Nova Scotia officials shut down the toll road between Masstown and Thomson Station at about 4:35 p.m. on Wednesday.
Impatient motorists complicated matters by trying to get around stalled or slow moving vehicles further jamming up lanes and making it almost impossible for plows to get through.
Eastbound traffic is moving once again but it could be a few hours yet before traffic is flowing along the the westbound lanes.
High winds and heavy wet snow also knocked out power in a swathe running from Bayers Lake across the province to Oxford.
More than 20,000 homes lost power in the storm.
"The outages are kind of in a line," said Nova Scotia Power spokeswoman Margaret Murphy.
Power should be back on around 6 a.m. today in Bayers Lake, she said.
But in areas where the weather closed highways, the work could take longer.
"Obviously the crews are going to work through the night and put back as much power as they can," Ms. Murphy said.
Where highways are impassable, power crews may be able to travel with snow plows to get the work done, she said.
"We’re still in the throes of a good snowstorm right now," Wayne Crossan, a manager at the Highway 104 Western Alignment Corp., the toll road’s private operator, said at 6:15 p.m.
"We probably have upwards of 10 centimetres at this time and blowing snow to go with it.
"We still have vehicles that are stuck, we still have vehicles off the road, and I haven’t seen a plow go by here in probably 30 minutes," Mr. Crossan said.
"I’ve heard traffic is backed up as far as Exit 11, which is Londonderry. And there’s nothing getting by here." On the plus side, the snow was accumulating at Ski Wentworth.
"I’m sure the people over there are smiling a little more than we are right now," Mr. Crossan said.
Police also shut down a section of Highway 103 at about 7:30 p.m. Central and northern areas of the province got snow Wednesday evening, said Ming Szeto, a meteorologist at Environment Canada’s Atlantic storm centre in Dartmouth.
"They’re still reporting rain in the eastern areas — that’s Guysborough, Pictou, Antigonish and Cape Breton," Mr. Szeto said at about 7 p.m.
Parts of Highway 101 were also impassable.
The precipitation was expected to taper off to flurries and end overnight, he said.
"But right now, there’s been a lot of snow reported in central Nova Scotia," Mr. Szeto said.
Winds out of the northwest were blowing at 40 kilometres an hour, with gusts up to 60 km/h, he said.
Today is supposed to be cloudy with sunny periods. Halifax is expected to have a high of 1 C.'
