Walking and driving are still a bit tricky in places after Tuesday’s storm brought a mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain to the region.
Precipitation started as snow in the morning but quickly changed to ice pellets. Environment Canada reported about two centimetres of snow at the Saint John Airport.
We then saw several hours of freezing rain and drizzle throughout the afternoon and evening before it ended early Wednesday morning.
“Moncton picked up 13 centimetres of snow and ice pellets, and that was followed by about eight millimetres of freezing rain and freezing drizzle,” said Jean-Marc Couturier, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. “Toward Saint John, a little bit less there along the Fundy coast. As much as 11 millimetres of freezing rain and a little bit of rain.”
