Snowfall warnings have been issued for central and northern New Brunswick, as a major system moves from Ontario and Quebec into the Maritimes.
Environment Canada says snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are expected from Thursday morning until Thursday night.
“Snow is expected to mix with ice pellets Thursday afternoon and evening over Queens, Sunbury, and southern York counties,” the warning states.

“Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Take frequent breaks and avoid strain when clearing snow.”
A special weather statement has been issued for Nova Scotia, which is also expected to receive heavy snow, freezing rain and ice pellets.
The statement for Nova Scotia covers most of the province, with significant winter weather expected to begin as snow Thursday morning.
The precipitation will change over to ice pellets and there will be periods of freezing rain the afternoon.
“A changeover to rain may also occur over southern sections of the province late in the day. There remains at this time uncertainty in the icing amounts,” the statement says.
Weather warnings may be issued later on.
