Your Tuesday commute is going to be a mess
Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
Right, so if you looked out your window this morning, you probably noticed the sky's got that heavy, bruised look to it. Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for all of New Brunswick, warning us about a significant weather system rolling in starting tonight and lasting through Wednesday. We're looking at a mixed bag of precipitation, likely starting as snow before changing over to freezing rain and then plain rain, especially along the coast.
I'll tell you what, anyone driving the causeway or trying to navigate the steep roads down to the harbour, like King Street, needs to be extra careful. The city's public works crews are already gearing up. The real concern here is the potential for icy conditions with that freezing rain, which could lead to power outages across the Saint John Energy service area. We saw how quickly things can go sideways with the last ice storm, right? Expect reduced visibility and tricky driving conditions throughout the day tomorrow. Keep an eye on the forecast, folks, and maybe grab that extra bag of road salt if you live uptown.
