The system is expected to change from snow to rain in a similar fashion, with coastal regions likely to receive rain sooner than inland areas.

However, the system could change before it hits the province so expect at least some of the totals to change by Wednesday.
The heaviest snowfall for mainland Nova Scotia is expected in the morning hours on Wednesday. Combined with a strong southeasterly wind, it could cause poor driving conditions and a messy commute.
