It could be another messy day on Sunday as Environment Canada issues a special weather statement for the Halifax area.

The national forecaster said snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and strong winds are expected.

“Precipitation will begin as snow Sunday morning over southwestern parts of Nova Scotia and spread across the province throughout the day,” the statement said. “The snow will transition to ice pellets and freezing rain Sunday evening with a changeover to rain expected overnight Sunday or early Monday morning.”

Environment Canada said similar events in the past have led to power outages, tree damage, traffic delays and hazardous driving conditions.

Residents are asked to keep an eye on the forecast throughout the weekend as warnings may be issued as Sunday draws closer.
