The January ice storm was bad (power out for four days). The one last week was bad enough to give Mum "flashback" freakouts (power out from 2AM to 8:30AM and from 11AM to 1PM). Luck comes in threes they say...

10:36 AM ADT Sunday 19 March 2017
Special weather statement in effect for:
•Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick

A low pressure system will approach slowly from the south tonight and Monday then linger around the region into Tuesday. Precipitation from this system will begin over southernmost portions of New Brunswick early Monday morning as a mixture of light snow, ice pellets and freezing rain but should change to rain later in the morning as temperatures climb slightly above the freezing mark. However, as temperatures fall later in the day and the precipitation continues to push northward, there is potential for a prolonged area of freezing rain to form Monday evening and persist into Tuesday morning. At this time northern and eastern portions of the province are most at risk for freezing rain.

The public is advised to monitor future forecasts as freezing rain warnings may be required.
