Hopefully, you didn’t put the snow shovels away when spring officially arrived just over a week ago.
There will be shovelling and scraping in your near future.
More messy weather is coming, according to Environment Canada.
Environment Canada has issued special weather statements for the province.
They are calling for the possibility of significant snowfall, ice pellets, and freezing rain on Tuesday night.
“It looks like to the north, mostly snow, to the extreme south, I want to say, mostly rain, and then everything in between will be a mixture of everything. We’re looking at 15 to 20 centimetres of snow up north. In terms of freezing rain, we’re looking at maybe 5 to 10 millimetres over several hours through central and southern parts, including Moncton through to Fredericton. Then down south, Saint. John, St. Stephen, it looks like it will be maybe initially some freezing rain or ice pellets, but mostly rain after that, and they’re looking at from 10 to 20 millimetres,” Meteorologist Jill Maepea told our newsroom.
Snowfall and/or freezing rain warnings may be required, and Maepea explained those could come later today.
Scatter precipitation is expected to begin tomorrow afternoon, in the form of flurries and showers, but Mapea said they’re anticipating the system will intensify more on Tuesday evening and Tuesday night.
Conditions are expected to improve for Thursday, but Maepea added they are monitoring another similar system for Friday.
