Yesterday was a mild day with clouds moving into the area in the afternoon ahead of a storm.
We are currently under a SNOWFALL WARNING...in March?!
'Snowfall amounts of 15 centimetres is expected for most of mainland Nova Scotia by Tuesday morning.
This is a warning that significant snowfall is expected in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
A low pressure system is expected to form south of the province this morning and swing northward this afternoon. Snow will develop along the Atlantic coast early this afternoon and then spread across the remainder of mainland Nova Scotia.
Snowfall amounts near 15 centimetres are expected for most of the province. Higher amounts are possible where onshore northeasterly winds will persist tonight and Tuesday.
Also strong northeast winds tonight and Tuesday will cause local blowing snow and give reduced visibilities at times.'
