Special Weather Statement
Issued: 8:55 AM Feb. 20, 2026 – Environment and Climate Change Canada
Significant snowfall and strong winds are expected. Locations: Nova Scotia. Potential snowfall: 15 to 25 cm. Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 60 to 80 km/h. Time span: Monday afternoon until Tuesday morning. Remarks: A developing low pressure system is expected to bring significant snowfall and blowing snow. The exact track of the system is uncertain, but the potential exists for significant snowfall. Snow accumulation may make travel slow or hazardous. Roads and walkways could become slippery and difficult to navigate. Strong winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility in blowing snow. Additionally, higher than normal water levels are expected along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia at high tide Monday night. Plan ahead in case schools or scheduled activities are cancelled. Make sure snow removal equipment (e.g., shovels or blowers) and supplies are prepared in advance. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
