It all began Friday when Shubenacadie Sam predicted an ‘early Spring’. And, from pretty much that moment on, it was all downhill as the province got hit with one of its biggest snow storms in recent memory.
Here’s how things looked over the weekend:
White knuckle drive to Halifax 4hr trip took 6hrs. A total of 11 cars in the ditch at least 2 or them not long after they overtook us. Whiteout conditions at times couldn’t see the end of the car, thick snow on the road, then really icy sections for many kms. #nsstorm pic.twitter.com/iwbGnvgdpN

Halifax: “what are we going to do with all this snow?”
Also Halifax: “just dump it in the harbour” #nswx #nsstorm pic.twitter.com/db8IS4OrOr

You know it’s a bad or good #NSStorm when you have to do this to find your vehicle.

We are having a snowicane in Nova Scotia. This is Albert Bridge, Cape Breton.
I just heard the winds have changed and it is now heading back my way, and we are expected to get another 20-30cm by tomorrow. lol I love snow. I'm probably one of few who are happy🥰#NSStorm pic.twitter.com/qIipD6Xdsl— Sammie Scotia🇨🇦 (@SammieScotia) February 5, 2024
The Mayor and Council have declared a local state of emergency in Sydney, Cape Breton. There’s so much snow, the plows can’t keep up. #NSStorm 📸 @DMac57068291 pic.twitter.com/3FR107OF29

Stormy conditions persist in Cape Breton today, and will continue into Monday. Another 30-50cm of snow is expected in the Sydney area by the time the storm ends. #NSStorm #CapeBreton #EastlinkCommunityTV pic.twitter.com/6yvC4bHlIE
