Get your shovel ready.

It’s looking like 15-25 centimetres of snow will blow into Nova Scotia on Monday.

Environment Canada meteorologist Jim Prime says a low pressure system is expected to hang east of the province.

“It looks like most of Nova Scotia will see snow out of this, starting around Monday mid-day and the afternoon, continuing overnight into Tuesday morning,” said Prime.

A special weather statement is in effect for the entire province.

“Right now, we’re on the cold side of this system. If it moves west a bit, there could be less snow. We’ll have to see how the track pans out.”

Prime says snowfall amounts in January were around normal, but it’s been below average through February.
