…………….Winds could be strong enough on Cape Cod, Down East Maine, the Maritimes, and Newfoundland and Labrador to down trees and cause power outages. Gusts could reach hurricane strength in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, as well as in portions of New Brunswick and Newfoundland.
The blizzard is expected to swipe eastern New England and slam Atlantic Canada Tuesday night through Wednesday night.
