Moncton and the rest of southeastern New Brunswick saw the region's first winter storm overnight Friday.
The weather system brought five to 10 centimetres of snow. Another 10 to 15 centimetres was expected through Saturday, according to Environment Canada.
The storm did not impact Fredericton and Saint John in the same way, with those cities seeing only a few centimetres of snowfall overnight.
Air Canada is advised travellers of winter operating conditions for all New Brunswick airports. Passengers were advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
On Saturday afternoon, RCMP in New Brunswick warned that travel on Highway 2 between Moncton and Nova Scotia was not recommended due to poor road conditions and low visibility.
As of 2 p.m. Saturday, Environment Canada reported that 22 centimetres of snow had fallen in Moncton and 12 centimetres in Saint John, with another two to five expected.
