Just woke up - thought it was Friday - and thought I was gonna be late for the show. I was just rushing around frantically to get ready. Happy weekend, team.

It's a #Friday once again!

Fire on quinpool has traffic on quinpool and chebcuto backed up to the armdale roundabout #HFXTraffic

There was a structure fire on Quinpool around midnight. Quinpool was closed between Oxford and Preston (I believe that's still the case at the moment). You might want to avoid the area right now #HFXTraffic

Hello, my hard-headed friend...

There's a (at least one) collision on the CIRC near exit 4N to HWY 118 That's causing back-ups on the CIRC and Main Street. If you're headed to the MacKay, you'll get backed up in that. And if you want to go to the MacDonald, the exit 4S ramp will also be hard to get to right now #HFXTraffic

We have reports that a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle It's at the intersection of Larry Uteck Blvd and Kearney Lake Road Emergency Crews are on the scene - avoid the area if you can #HFXTraffic

Looks like there's road crews working on the potholes on HWY 101 near LWR Sackville. There's a lane drop between exits 2 and 1 inbound So be ready to slowdown approaching that (and reports of a BIG pothole near the exit 1F exit to the Bedford Bypass)... #HFXTraffic

Seeing reports of a stalled vehicle in the Fairview Overpass, close to the Cemetery (before the Windsor Street) Looking a little slow in that area (like the Bedford Hwy inbound)...maybe avoid that if you don't wanna wait #HFXTraffic

Another sunrise picture BECAUSE sunrises RULE

Good morning 😎

Roads are looking good this morning. Skies are clear - and it's gonna be BRIGHT when the sun comes up - so grab some sunglasses before you head out today #HFXTraffic

Just getting around to finishing that coffee I made at *checks notes* 4:45am

There's a collision showing up on Robie near the intersection with Cunard #HFXTraffic

Two issues near Lake Echo this morning... HWY 7 is an Extrication situation (avoid the area) And it looks like a collision on the 107, headed to Preston #HFXTraffic

Another collision off HWY 103 - this one near exit 4 HIGHWAY 103 / HIGHWAY 103 EB EXIT 4 OFF RAMP, HUBLEY MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION #HFXTraffic

Got a collision to AVOID right now: HIGHWAY 7, LAKE ECHO EXTRICATION/ENTRAPPED #HFXTraffic

A caller texted to report a collision on the 103 off-ramp to the St Margaret's Bay Road. They says drivers have to get into the left hand lane to avoid that. And it does look a bit busy in that area right now #HFXTraffic

Got a collision near the airport RN HIGHWAY 102 / HIGHWAY 102 NB EXIT 5A OFF RAMP, GOFFS MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION #HFXTraffic This is what it looks like in that general area atm:

Roads are nasty in HRM this morning. HWYS are and city streets are mostly snow-covered (as of 5am). The Macdonald and MacKay are snow-covered as well. Take your time our there this morning, team #HFXTraffic

Potholes are causing folks to pull over off HWY 101 this morning Most of the cars pulled over near the Bedford Bypass exit (1F) But you can start looking for potholes on the 101 near Mount Uniacke, approaching Sackville. #HFXTraffic

Sounds like a bad collision in Prospect/Goodwood...avoid the area if you can... PROSPECT RD, GOODWOOD EXTRICATION/ENTRAPPED #HFXTraffic

We've got a collision at the former tolls of the Macdonald Bridge, HFX-Bound. That means traffic mayhem on the streets in downtown Dartmouth right now #HFXTraffic Expect delays (slowdowns on the MacKay too in BOTH directions - not sure why though

The Traffic Map is showing a slowdown on the Macdonald Bridge, from HFX to Dartmouth... A Dartmouth Bound slowdown almost always means an issue at this time of day... If you know what that is, give us a shout: 902-300-0480 #HFXTraffic

You'll want to double check, but it looks like all French Schools on the Mainland are closed, except for the Tri-County #NSStorm

We've got school closures today (Happy April!) From the South Shore: "Due to anticipated road conditions, all SSRCE schools will be closed today, Tues, April 8/25. Offices and works sites will be open." #NSStorm

From NS RCMP (about 1 hr ago) PUBLIC ADVISORY: RCMP officers are on Wyman Rd. in #SandBeach. They're responding to a person in distress who's armed and barricaded inside his home. There’s a heavy police presence in the area and additional resources, including an RCMP negotiator, are en route (Cont)
