Halifax, northeastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton were among the hardest hit areas after blowing snow left significant drifts and made many roads and streets impassable.
Military bases in Halifax have closed for the day and Canadian Forces Base Halifax is offering free parking for city residents as snow removal efforts continue on downtown streets.
Provincial government offices have also delayed openings.
A closure remains in effect for the Confederation Bridge to P.E.I. because of the weather conditions and flight delays continue at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, the region’s largest.
The latest snowfall followed an earlier storm that saw more than 40 centimetres of snow blanket areas of the region.
