Heavy snowfall is blanketing the South Shore prompting a plea from the Lunenburg District RCMP for people to stay off the roads.
Sgt. Mark MacPherson says they’ve already seen multiple vehicles stranded on the side of the road.
“It’s just not safe right now, so we are asking people to stay off the roads if possible until the snowfall has stopped,” MacPherson said.
MacPherson specifically asked that people try and stay off Highway 103 as he says conditions on it are currently very slippery.
Visibility is heavily reduced currently as a result of the heavy snowfall and road conditions are worsening.

At So Delicious Dairy Free in Springfield, Oregon, a unit of 107 workers has joined Teamsters Local 206. How they did it is rare: In an era when most companies hire union busters, So Delicious voluntarily recognized the union after letting workers make their decision on the union without interference.
So Delicious, which makes non-dairy frozen desserts, is a subsidiary of the giant French multinational Danone, best known in the United States for its Dannon yogurt brand. Danone acquired So Delicious in 2017 when it bought natural foods conglomerate White Wave. Danone then signed a union neutrality agreement with the Teamsters, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), and the Bakers Union covering facilities in the United States. Under the agreement, once a union demonstrates it has support from 30% of a unit, union organizers can enter the work site to talk with workers on break.
