Hazardous winter conditions are expected. Locations: Inverness County - Mabou and north and Victoria County. Total snowfall: 15 to 25 cm, with locally higher amounts possible. Maximum wind gusts: westerly 100 km/h. Time span: this evening until Monday night. Remarks: Freezing rain or snow will change to rain tonight before changing back to snow Monday morning. As the system moves away on Monday strong winds and periods of snow and possible snowsqualls will impact northern Cape Breton. Localized bands may produce higher snowfall totals over some areas. Strong winds accompanying the snow will reduce visibility at times in blowing snow. ### Travel will likely be challenging. Winter Storm Warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather (such as snow, freezing rain, wind and rain) are expected or occurring. 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.
