Here's a look at some snowfall totals from across the Maritimes, via our volunteer observers.
Many observers noted that measurements were difficult to make due to the blowing and drifting snow.

More snow on the way!
An Alberta Clipper brings shovelable snow mid-week.
Snow spreads in west to east Wednesday with a slow/snowy afternoon-evening commute. Snow tapers overnight for most, lingers into Thursday in the east.
10–20 cm for Nova Scotia with 5–10 cm, southern NB.
Stay tuned.

Thank you #CBC for your reporting and investigation. Shame on anyone (or political party) wanting to defund them. Please listen.

Oh joy - the possibility of another dump of snow on #NovaScotia on Sunday into Monday (it's become a pattern). Nothing certain, so watch the forecast from reputable sources. #NSStorm #xp

Lots of buzz about yet another Sunday into Monday storm.
And yes, while it's still a long way out, it's looking more and more likely that parts of the Maritimes may be digging out again early next week.
Here's what we know... and what we don't know.

β€˜This is what fascism looks like’: terror in Minneapolis reminiscent of civil war Alex Pretti’s death could be a moment of reckoning for Democrats to call time on Trump waging war on his people

I hate living next door to a fascist regime. Close the border, summon the ambassador, enough is enough.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

You should probably avoid driving this morning if you don't have to (my words).
