Halifax Storm News Today

School is cancelled across the province as the first nor'easter of the year blows through Nova Scotia. Snowfall warnings are in effect for much of the province.

Environment Canada says Nova Scotians can expect a wet, windy start to the weekend. A special weather statement was issued warning of 'significant rainfall and strong winds.'

Another rainstorm is set to hit Nova Scotia, and preparations are underway in Halifax to ensure those sleeping rough in the municipality have a safe place to stay.
