NEWS NOTES

Snow Way! A White Christmas Could Be Coming ❄️

Hold onto your mittens, Saint John—it’s looking like we might be in for a classic white Christmas! A weather system brewing for tomorrow could bring a hefty blanket of snow just in time to deck the halls (and the streets) on Christmas Eve.

If you’ve got last minute shopping to do or plans to hit the road, plan ahead—this flurry of fun might make travel a little tricky. Keep an eye on the forecast here, and be sure to load up on storm chips!
