Messy weather mix on the way, as some N.B. schools close

With a messy mix of snow and freezing rain on the way to parts of New Brunswick, some schools have closed for Thursday.

All Anglophone West, Francophone Northwest schools are closed Thursday

A map of the Maritimes shaded in white for much of New Brunswick and part of Nova Scotia, indicative of 5-10 cm of snow. The northern part of New Brunswick is shaded a teal blue colour, indicating 10-15 cm. The rest of the region is different shades of grey, indicating 0-5 cm, according to the legend on the graphic.
Across the southwest of the Maritimes, CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon said the snow will add up to 2-4 centimetres, with closer to 4-8 centimetres coming for the rest of the region. In northern New Brunswick, 8-12 centimetres are possible, especially over higher terrain, said Snoddon. (Ryan Snoddon/CBC)

With a messy mix of snow and freezing rain on the way to parts of New Brunswick, some schools have closed.

All Anglophone West and Francophone Northwest schools are closed. 

Fredericton and Oromocto schools in the Francophone South district are also closed.

According to CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon, snow will spread in from west to east throughout the morning and early afternoon, before transitioning to ice pellets and freezing rain and then rain as temperatures rise. 

Across the southwest of the Maritimes, he said, snow will add up to two to four centimetres, with closer to four to eight centimetres coming for the rest of the region.

In northern New Brunswick, eight to 12 centimetres are possible, especially over higher terrain, said Snoddon.
