The Halifax Regional Centre for Education said all of its schools dismissed students early. Many other schools across the province cancelled classes this morning due to weather or also dismissed early due to power outages. Cause of power outagesNova Scotia Power says transmission interruptions in Memramcook, N.B., have shut down the power link between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, which knocked out power for 100,000 customers in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia Power spokesperson Tiffany Chase said the outages are largely being caused by wet, heavy snow that's pushing trees onto power lines in the northeastern parts of the province. As of 1:36 p.m., Nova Scotia Power was reporting close to 825 outages.
