==Discussion==
a low pressure system that intensified into a major early season
snowstorm will track across eastern Nova Scotia and into the Gulf of
St Lawrence this morning. The low will then move to the northern
Gulf of St Lawrence later today.
Fresh snowfall and strong winds will cause low visibilities in
blowing snow especially in exposed locations.
The low is tracking further west than earlier forecast therefore
winter storm warnings have been expanded to include several more
regions.
