Weekend snow has Nova Scotians dreaming of a white Christmas
It could begin to look a lot like Christmas for many Nova Scotians after this weekend.
A snowfall warning was issued on Thursday afternoon for all of the mainland and could bring 15 to 30 cm of snow Friday night into Saturday.
“An area of low pressure is expected to travel up the eastern seaboard and track south of Nova Scotia on Saturday bringing snow to the province Friday night into Saturday,” reads Environment Canada’s statement.

The national forecaster says similar storms in the past have created hazardous driving conditions and forced the cancellation of some activities.
For those who do see snow this weekend, it’s likely to stick around according to 95.7 NewsRadio weather specialist Allister Aalders.
“It looks like the snow is going to stay, temperatures are going to be cold Sunday through Christmas Eve and possibly Christmas Day, so it looks like what falls this weekend will be sticking around through Christmas,” he said.
