The first major snowstorm of the season is blasting the Maritimes with heavy snow and strong winds.
Environment Canada has issued winter storm warnings for all of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and southern New Brunswick with up to 30 centimetres of snow expected.
Winds are expected to gust up to 80 km/h in some areas with rough pounding surf expected along the coast this evening.
Flights have been grounded at many airports, motorists are being urged not to drive due to slippery road conditions and ferry runs have been cancelled between Caribou – Wood Islands and Saint John – Digby.
The storm will move out of the region later tonight as it tracks toward Newfoundland.
