CANADAHALIFAX news Heavy rain, high winds leave thousands without power across Nova Scotia by admin 18 فبراير، 2022 written by admin 18 فبراير، 2022 10 Entire province under rain, wind and flash freeze warnings Friday CBC News A windy and wet winter storm in Nova Scotia has left thousands without power and forced some schools to close Friday. As of 9:45 a.m., about 20,000 customers were without power. The largest outages were in the Dartmouth area, parts of Halifax, Yarmouth, Kemptville, Bloomfield, New Germany, Mabou and Glace Bay. The estimated time of restoration, according to Nova Scotia Power’s website, is between 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. The Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education and the Strait RCE cancelled classes on Friday. A full list of closures can be found here. All of Nova Scotia remained under rain, wind and flash freeze warnings Friday. CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin said in addition to the rain overnight, the province can expect periods of heavy rain to continue to bring another 20 mm to 40 mm into Friday afternoon. As a cold front pushes southward Friday afternoon, the temperature will drop very quickly and rain will change over to freezing rain and ice pellets. A drop of 10 to 15 degrees in just a few hours is looking likely Friday afternoon, creating potentially very icy conditions on roads, walkways and untreated surfaces. The high winds will be southwesterly 60 km/h gusting to 90 km/h but 110 km/h where the winds blow onshore before settling down Friday afternoon. Whatever ice does form will linger, as temperatures will remain below zero throughout the weekends, so be sure to have the sand and salt at the ready. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post ‘How am I related to The Rock?’ Nova Scotia boy’s question sparks new exhibit next post Lunenburg County man, 44, dead after ATV crash You may also like مساعدات كندية إنسانية وتنموية للبنان بقيمة 65 مليون... 5 مايو، 2024 Nova Scotia legislature flags at half-mast to mark... 29 أبريل، 2024 Bidders express interest in buying all or part... 29 أبريل، 2024 What Trudeau’s podcast appearances say about the Liberals’... 29 أبريل، 2024 First, she aimed to transform Canada’s military culture.... 29 أبريل، 2024 [تقرير] الهجرة المغاربية في مقاطعة كيبيك 29 أبريل، 2024 أونتاريو: نائبة تتحدى أمراً بنزع كوفيتها وتتعهد بمواصلة... 27 أبريل، 2024 تمويل فدرالي وكيبيكي بقيمة 100 مليون دولار دعماً... 27 أبريل، 2024 First court appearance for boy and girl charged... 27 أبريل، 2024 Province officially reaches tentative deal with teachers 27 أبريل، 2024 Leave a Comment Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
