Evening Storm Center Update
Steady light snow since our last report around 2 cm, just enough to make the roads slippery. EC is calling for 10 - 15 cm before it ends in the morning. Main problem will be the wind which will be in the range of 50 - 70 km/hr causing blowing and drifting snow along with reduced visibility in open areas. Not snowing very hard as I can see the lights at the Fairview Cove container pier.
Will be back late this evening with an update or sooner if conditions dictate.

Lunchtime Storm Center Update
Well not much happening here. A glance at the highway web cams shows some light snow in the sw end of the province. Earlier we had a few snow flakes and as I type this some ice pellets have begun to fall.
A look at the radar shows a split in the precipitation field, going south and north of Halifax.
Will update as required.
