The latest forecast is warning residents of eastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton to get ready for a lot more snow.

Hazardous winter conditions are expected as this multi-day storm lingers over the Maritimes.

Environment Canada is forecasting 50 to 80 cm for the region.

The national forecaster says conditions will deteriorate further on Sunday as winds increase and snowfall rates intensify.

In total, 30 to 50 cm of snow can be expected by Sunday morning, with a further 30 to 50 cm possible by Monday morning.

“The snow will be wet and heavy, which in combination with strong winds, could lead to utility outages.”

Halifax, Truro and central parts of the province are still under a snowfall warning while a blowing snow advisory has been added in those areas.

The RCMP is urging people to stay off the roads to help with snow clearing and overall safety.
