Most New Brunswickers in the central and southern regions of the province woke up to 20 centimetres of snow.
Environment Canada has issued blowing snow advisories for the Moncton and Saint John areas.
The storm has closed schools in the Anglophone west, south, east and some in the northern school districts, as well as Francophone south and northwest districts.
New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization has asked New Brunswickers to postpone unnecessary travel.
Winter storm warnings are still in place for parts of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
A storm also hit the region Sunday dumping up to 40 centimetres of snow in many areas.
