Many New Brunswickers are starting their week digging out after a winter storm brought plenty of snow to the province.
A winter storm warning remains in place for southeastern New Brunswick, including Greater Moncton and Kent County.
An additional 10 centimetres of snow is expected on Monday morning before it ends around the noon hour.
Gusty northerly winds will combine with the freshly fallen snow to cause periods of reduced visibility in blowing snow, particularly in exposed areas.
Meanwhile, a snowfall warning that was in place for southwestern and northeastern parts of the province has ended.

As of 10 a.m. Monday, there was around 19 centimetres of snow at the Saint John Airport and 18 centimetres at the Greater Moncton International Airport.
