Widespread Educational Disruptions Across Eastern Regions
Multiple school districts across Nova Scotia canceled classes for the third consecutive Monday as a significant winter storm moves through the province. Weather alerts remain active across Cape Breton and eastern/northern mainland regions, with snowfall and winter storm warnings impacting daily operations.
Affected School Districts
All schools in the Chignecto Central, Strait, and Cape Breton-Victoria regions canceled classes entirely. Approximately two dozen schools in the Halifax region remain closed, with others operating on a two-hour delay schedule. Educational facilities in West Hants also suspended operations for the day.
Transportation and Municipal Services Disrupted
Public transit services in Cape Breton Regional Municipality suspended morning operations, with all municipal buildings and recreational facilities remaining closed. Multiple post-secondary institutions delayed campus openings or canceled daytime classes as conditions deteriorated.
Weather Conditions Worsen Visibility
Weather officials warn that blowing snow continues to create hazardous driving conditions across affected areas. Reduced visibility is reportedly hindering snow-clearing efforts, with persistent winds exacerbating drifting accumulations.
Eastern regions appear positioned to receive the storm’s most significant impacts, though fluctuating conditions continue across the province. Transportation officials advise against non-essential travel in affected zones until weather patterns stabilize.
