A system tracking into the Maritimeswill bring another messy mix of snow, ice pellets and rain beginning Saturday night and into Sunday.

By the time we get to Monday morning much of New Brunswick, P.E.I. and northeastern Nova Scotia will be looking at amounts of 10 to 20 centimetres.

With the mix of ice pellets and rain, western and central Nova Scotia will see less snow with amounts ranging from two to 10 centimetres.
