Those numbers do not include March snow fall totals. March 13 blanketed New Brunswick with a thick layer of snow.
“That brought in actually up to 50 cms of snow in Tracadie and up to 45 cms in the Woodstock and Perth-Andover areas,” Côté said.
Côté predicts New Brunswick won’t see spring temperatures for the rest of March and into April.
