Meanwhile, residents of Nova Scotia were being warned to prepare for power outages and treacherous driving conditions as the snow was expected to change to ice pellets and periods of freezing rain on Thursday afternoon, followed by a changeover to light rain in southern sections of the province.
In Newfoundland, blowing snow was expected for the Friday morning commute, with up to 25 cm of snow in the forecast for the western edge of the island and lesser amounts farther east.
