Snowfall Warning

▶

2:28 p.m. AST Sunday 18 January 2026

Snowfall Warning in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West

Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 20 cm is expected.

Locations: Mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton.

Time span: this evening through Monday morning.

Remarks: Snow, heavy at times, will begin over Nova Scotia this evening. Some communities may see precipitation start as rain, but a quick changeover to snow is expected by mid evening. Temperatures will hover near zero in many areas so the snow is expected to be wet, dense, and difficult to clear by hand. Conditions will quickly improve across the province on Monday morning.

Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Local utility outages are possible.

Take frequent breaks and avoid strain when clearing snow.

Snowfall warnings are issued when significant impacts are expected due to snowfall accumulations.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NSStorm.
