Environment Canada meteorologist Jill Maepea said the heaviest snow in New Brunswick fell along the Fundy coast.
Maepea said Dorchester picked up 35 centimetres of snow, but most areas saw between 15 and 20 centimetres.
“Moncton and Saint John both recorded 21 centimetres, the Sussex area saw 20 centimetres, and down toward St. Stephen we saw 14 centimetres,” said Maepea.
The storm led to school closures across southern New Brunswick, including the Anglophone South and East school districts, along with part of the Francophone South School District.
For those who are not a fan of snow, Maepea said we fared pretty well compared to our counterparts in Nova Scotia.

Tuesday’s mix of snow, ice pellets and rain has left behind what can only be described as a sloppy mess in the region.
All buses in the Anglophone South School District are running on a one-hour delay Wednesday morning. Schools will be open at their usual time.
In the Francophone South School District, buses in the Saint John and Quispamsis area are running one hour late, while all other schools in the district are closed.
Slippery roads keep many New Brunswick schools closed a 2nd day
Poor road conditions after Tuesday s storm are keeping many schools closed for a second day, and travel isn t recommended on a northwestern stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.
