Most of Nova Scotia is closed on account of weather. So what's open?

A nor'easter has forced closure of most — but not all — businesses and services in Nova Scotia on Monday.

The storm is expected to dump lots of snow and blow strong winds across the province. In anticipation, most Nova Scotians are hunkering down as police warn roads are not safe to travel.
