The city is pulling buses off the roads for the second day in a row as white out conditions and heavy snow remains on roads.

Buses will be pulled off the roads at 9 p.m. (changed from 8 p.m.) on Sunday.

Halifax Transit says the same goes for ferry service.

A decision regarding service for Monday will be made early in the morning.

Clean-up continues but winds challenging 

Crews in Halifax are working to get the roads cleaned up.

“During snow events with over 30 centimetres of accumulation, our crews require additional time to clear snow. Crews will continue to work around the clock until the snow has been cleared from municipal streets, sidewalks and bike lanes.”

Residents are asked to avoid unnecessary travel for their own safety due to poor driving conditions and to allow crews to continue snow clearing operations safely.

Municipal offices

All municipal offices will be closed on Monday.

The city is asking employees who can work from home to do so.

All essential services, including 311 and winter operations, are maintaining service. Halifax Transit will be operating, weather depending.
