Heavy snow will develop Tuesday morning and spread northeastward during the day. Very strong northeast winds gusting to 90 km/h with possible higher gusts will give blizzard conditions with near-zero visiblities on Tuesday. General snowfall amounts of 15 to 30 cm are expected. Over parts of Nova Scotia snow will mix with or change to ice pellets in the afternoon. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. If you become stranded in a vehicle do not leave. The vehicle offers a form of protection from the cold. A single person walking through the snow is harder to find than a stranded car or truck. Ensure that shelter is provided for pets and outdoor animals. Blizzard Warnings are issued when widespread reduced visibilities of 400 metres or less are expected for at least 4 hours. weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?ns9#15032403291671326201501260506
