According to The Weather Network, weather warnings are in effect across Nova Scotia and Newfoundland with 15 to 20 centimetres predicted and up to 30 centimetres in the northeast portion of Nova Scotia.

Parts of Newfoundland are also under rainfall warnings with up to 50 millimetres of rain and up to 15 centimetres of snow. 

"Strong southerly winds ahead of the front late Friday will also impact the Avalon, with gusts between 80 and 100 km/h expected," said The Weather Network.

Luckily, the storm will ease up by the weekend and a warming trend will kick off moving into next week.
