Up to 30 cm of snow expected in central, northern N.B. Wednesday, warnings expanded
People in central and northern New Brunswick should expect some snowy conditions on the drive home from work Wednesday. The snow will begin around noon in the province's southwest corner and then move north.
Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings for the Fredericton, Oromocto, St. Stephen, Stanley, Doaktown, Blackville, Woodstock, Acadian Peninsula, Bathurst, Campbellton, Edmundston, Grand Falls, Miramichi and Mount Carleton areas.
The Mount Carleton and Renous Highway areas will see the most snow accumulation, according to the warning posted Tuesday afternoon.
Residents of southwestern New Brunswick can expect around 15 centimetres from Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night, with central and northern regions getting 20 to 30 cm.
"Snowfall rates will be intense at times during Wednesday's evening commute in many areas, leading to difficult driving conditions," reads the warning.
"Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow."
Several schools were closed Monday due to road conditions and thousands of customers lost power after around 20 cm fell over northern New Brunswick.
