Freezing rain switching to snow later Friday, with snowfall warnings for some areas

Freezing rain and rain continue across much of southern and central New Brunswick on Friday morning, with ice buildup in some areas.

CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin said the type of precipitation varies across the province, depending on temperature and location.

Freezing rain warnings are still in place for areas named on Thursday by Environment Canada, from Woodstock to the  Moncton area.

But some scattered regions now have snowfall warnings as well.

Kouchibouguac National Park and Kent County have snowfall warnings, but no freezing rain warnings.

The mix of freezing rain and rain is expected to end Friday morning, changing over to snow.

For the areas with a snowfall warning, 15 to 20 centimetres is expected, ending tonight, according to Environment Canada.

Simpkin said other regions of the province will get about two to five centimetres.

As of 3 pm., there were only 30 N.B. Power customers with outages in a cluster near Brockway, which is on Highway 3 between Harvey and St. Stephen. The Charlotte County area saw many days-long outages following the wind storm last week.

Sonya Gilks, a spokesperson for the Fredericton Police Force, said there were no accidents in the city due to the weather as of 2:30 p.m. Friday.

The RCMP did not immediately answer when asked if there were any accidents on the province's highways Friday afternoon.
