A blizzard is on the way for Saint John, bringing heavy snow and blowing snow to the region. A winter storm watch warning is in place for Charlotte County.
Claude Cote of Environment Canada tells Tide News starting before Wednesday morning we'll see periods of snow, blowing snow and reduced visibility to near-zero. It's expected we'll see winds gusting to about 60 km/hr closer to the city.
Cote says the storm will start tapering off at about 8pm or 9am. We can expect to see about 15 cms of fresh snow on the ground by the end of the storm.
The provincial E-M-O reminding you that strong winds can bring power outages and you should make sure you have everything you need to last you at least seventy-two hours after a storm, including an emergency kit for your home and car. They're also encouraging you to avoid driving if you don't have to during and after the blizzard.
