The national weather forecaster says strong winds may also cause blowing snow and non-essential travel should be postponed.

Many flights at Halifax Stanfield International Airport have already been cancelled or delayed.

Up to 25 centimetres of snow fell on parts of the region earlier this week, creating power outages, school closures and poor driving conditions.
