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.

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