Yo, heavy snow and wild winds are slamming the maritimes, forcing mass school shutdowns across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia, places like Sackfield High are fully closed from boiler issues, while whole counties in Chignecto Central and Strait regions are. The laying by two hours or canceling classes outright, Cape Bretton Victoria shut everything down to. Meanwhile, universities are adjusting. Princess Xavier waits till 11 a.m. for classes. Cape Bretton unies closed mornings with updates by 10, and NSCC campuses in Cumberland and Strait. Areas push back to 10.30 or noon. Over in New Brunswick, it's chaos with Anglephone districts closing big zones and specific schools around Sussex and Bathurst, plus two hour delays in, northern spots. Francophone boards mostly shut down except one school, and Mount Allison plus UNB programs hold off till noon. The impact hits families hard, kids get snow days, but parents scramble with work.

Road conditions are the big culprit, keeping buses sidelined, and offices opening late where they can. Check local updates as things shift with the weather, and stay safe out there driving those slippery roads. Vancouver News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters. I'm Corey with the story.
