BREAKING: Environment Canada Issues HIGH IMPACT Warnings — Atlantic Canada Faces 35cm Snow Today

❄️ WINTER STORM WARNING (TODAY):
Atlantic Canada is bracing for a high-impact snowstorm with rapid accumulation and dangerous travel conditions through the day.

🌨️ SNOWFALL TOTALS:
Snowfall: 20–35 cm (locally higher in heavier bands)
Snowfall rates: 2–5 cm/hr during peak bursts
⚠️ Expect roads to get covered fast, even after plows pass.

🌬️ STRONG WINDS + BLOWING SNOW:
Wind gusts: 50–80 km/h (higher along exposed/coastal areas)
Near-zero visibility possible in blowing snow / whiteout conditions
Snow drifting can quickly block roads and driveways.

🧊 FLASH FREEZE / ICE RISK:
As temperatures drop behind the system, wet/slushy roads may freeze quickly, creating a black ice threat—especially overnight and on bridges.

🚗 TRAVEL IMPACT (HIGH):

Highway delays and possible closures
Reduced visibility and slippery roads
Flight/ferry cancellations or major delays possible
Slower emergency response times in hardest-hit areas
⚠️ POWER OUTAGE RISK:
Heavy snow + strong wind can stress trees and power lines → localized outages possible, especially where snow is wetter/heavier.

✅ SAFETY MEASURES (DO THIS NOW):

Avoid non-essential travel during peak snowfall
Charge devices + keep a power bank ready
Stock essentials: water, food, meds, baby/pet supplies
Vehicle kit: shovel, blanket, booster cables, flashlight, snacks
Keep fuel tank above half
If stranded: stay with your vehicle and call for help when safe
📌 HIGH IMPACT + MODERATE CONFIDENCE SETUP:
Fast-moving heavy snow bands + wind = rapidly changing conditions. Even small track shifts can change totals significantly.

Stay safe, stay ready, and check local alerts before heading out.
