A winter storm hitting the province has knocked out power to thousands Friday afternoon.
As of 4:35 p.m. over 60,000 customers in the Halifax area are without electricity.
Nova Scotia Power has activated its Emergency Operations Centre.
If you're planning to drive and encounter an intersection with lights not working, treat that intersection as an all-way stop.
In addition, police are asking drivers to avoid the intersection of Larry Uteck Boulevard and Hammonds Plains Road due to the traffic lights not working and deteriorating road conditions.
