A blast of winter weather is finally in store for Nova Scotia.
Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings for the entire province, with some areas expecting between 15 and 30 centimeters of snow.
Snow is expected to start falling early Friday and continue into Saturday morning.
There is also a chance of a mix of snow and rain along parts of the Atlantic coast, the weather agency said.

Environment Canada warned residents to prepare for “rapidly changing and deteriorating travel conditions” and significant traffic impacts in urban areas.
The province is in the midst of a fairly slow start to winter, according to CBC meteorologist Ryan Snowden.
Earlier this week, Snowden said Quebec and Atlantic Canada were experiencing the warmest temperature anomalies in North America since early December, with just six centimeters of snow recorded at Halifax Airport between Oct. 1 and Jan. 15.
By comparison, the 30-year average snowfall at this location is more than 90 centimeters.
Snowfall is expected to continue throughout the day, which could lead to “deteriorating travel conditions,” Environment Canada said. (Tina Simpkin/CBC) Corrections and clarifications|Submit a news tip|Report a bug
