Many New Brunswickers are starting their week digging out after a winter storm brought plenty of snow to the province.
Snowfall and winter storm warnings that were in place have since ended as the worst of the system moves out of the region.
However, gusty winds could still cause reduced visibility in blowing snow throughout the day, particularly in exposed areas.
Both the Greater Moncton International Airport and the Saint John Airport reported around 19 centimetres of snow in total.
Here is a look at what volunteer observers reported around the province through CoCoRaHS:
- Saint-Ignace: 24.9 cm
- Wirrall: 21.3 cm
- Chamcook: 20.1 cm
- O’Donnells (Doaktown): 20.1 cm
- Rogersville: 20.1 cm
- Oak Point: 19.1 cm
- Fredericton: 18.3 cm to 22.1 cm
- Harvey (Albert County): 18 cm
- Sackville: 17.8 cm
- Hoyt: 17 cm
- Miramichi: 16.5 cm
- Grande-Digue: 16 cm
- Grand Harbour (Grand Manan): 16 cm
- Sussex Corner: 15 cm
- New Maryland: 11.9 cm
- White Head (Grand Manan): 10.4 cm
No mail delivery
Canada Post has issued a red delivery service alert for the entire province due to inclement weather and snow.
Delivery is being suspended until conditions improve and it is safe for service to resume, said the Crown corporation.
“The safety of our employees is our number one priority,” Canada Post said in a statement.
Travel conditions
Officials were advising against travel on several major highways earlier in the day but those advisories have since been lifted.
However, drivers are still urged to use caution as crews work to clean up the snow that was left behind by the storm.
Saint John Transit said its buses are operating but there may be delays or detours due to road conditions.
If you plan on flying on Monday, it is a good idea to check the latest arrival times at the Greater Moncton International Airport, the Saint John Airport and the Fredericton International Airport.
