CITYnews halifax / By Dan Ahlstrand

Month nature is again wreaking havoc with classes across the province today.

There will be a two-hour delay in opening for schools in Colchester County, Cumberland County, Pictou County and the Municipality of East Hants within the Cumberland-Colchester Regional Centre for Education. Buses will operate on paved roads only.

The schools that make up the Annapolis Valley Regional Centre for Education will also open two hours late. Transportation will also run two hours later than usual this morning, and bus drivers will use their discretion on the roads.

There is also a two-hour delay for schools within Strait Regional Centre for Education.

Due to the weather, classes are cancelled for students in South Shore and Tri-County Regional Centres for Education today.

All classes within HRCE are open as usual.
