Some would call this the calm after the storm, while others still have a lot of cleaning up to do.
Spokesperson for New Brunswick’s Emergency Measures Organization Geoffrey Downey says with all of the mixed precipitation that fell, that has caused issues on roadways, “There has been localized flooding and that is the real concern right now. The temperature has dropped blow freezing. What we are asking people to do is be patient. Driving conditions aren’t ideal and it is going to take some time to get everything done today.”

Meantime, if you weren’t prepared for this storm, there is still a chance to get ready for the next one, “Checking things like your 72 hour emergency preparedness kit and making sure it is well stocked in the case there is a power outage that goes on longer than you would like it to. Also, check you drains to ensure water can get away from your property.”
