People in the Maritimes barely had enough time to finish the back-aching job of digging themselves out after upwards of 40 centimetres of snow fell on Saturday before the second wave of the storm began wreaking havoc on the region.
Forecasters say the storm is southeast of Nova Scotia and heading towards Newfoundland and Labrador.
Road conditions are poor across the southern half of New Brunswick, all of P.E.I. and most of Nova Scotia.
There are blowing snow and blizzard warnings still in effect for several areas.
Power crews are dealing with a few hundred outages in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
This comes after thousands of power outages, dozens of flight cancellations and flooding shut down most businesses and services on Saturday.
"This storm almost set some records," said Doug Mercer with Environment Canada.
"There was some very, very strong winds down in the tri-county area. Digby reported a peak wind of 140 and south of Yarmouth in Woods Harbour they recorded a peak wind of 164 kilometres an hour, which is the wind you'd expect from a category two hurricane."
Travel woes continue
The worst snowstorm of the season swept across the Maritimes cancelling flights and buses and leaving frustrated passengers in its wake.
With more cancellations piling up at the Haifax airport Sunday morning, airlines said it could take a couple of days to get back to normal.
Marine Atlantic ferries remain tied up for the day.
There are also restrictions in place on the Confederation Bridge.
