The storm dumped 15 cm of snow on the mainland of Nova Scotia and produced strong winds in Cape Breton. A mix of messy weather consisting of freezing rain, ice and snow created dangerous driving conditions. In Nova Scotia, the Canso Causeway was closed to high-sided vehicles and Highway 104 was closed in certain sections due to poor visibility. One transport truck over turned on the Seal Island Bridge in Cape Breton due to strong wind gusts of up to 110 km/h.
