Three Storms in Three Weeks: Halifax Towing Mobilizes Full Fleet as Back-to-Back Nor'easters Pummel Nova Scotia

HALIFAX, NS - February 6, 2026 - Nova Scotia is in the grip of one of its most relentless winter stretches in recent memory. Three major storms have slammed the province in just three weeks, dumping between 25 and 40 centimetres of snow per event, bringing wind gusts exceeding 70 km/h, and forcing widespread school closures and power outages across Halifax Regional Municipality.
Halifax Towing, a locally owned provider of 24-hour towing [https://towinghalifax.com/24-hour/] and emergency roadside services, has deployed its full fleet to keep Halifax drivers safe through the ongoing onslaught.
"This has been a winter that tests every driver and every vehicle on the road," said Sean Moher of Halifax Towing. "When storms stack up like this, the snow has nowhere to go. Cars get buried, batteries die overnight, and people get stuck in places a regular tow truck can't reach. That's exactly what we've built this operation for."
When Storms Stack Up, So Do the Risks
Unlike a single storm event where conditions improve within a day, consecutive nor'easters create compounding hazards that catch even experienced Maritime drivers off guard. Halifax Towing has identified three escalating risks this season:
* Snowbank Entrapment: With nowhere left to plow, vehicles are increasingly being buried by clearing crews or trapped against narrowed streets. The company's winching crew uses heavy-duty equipment to safely extract vehicles from snowbanks, ditches, and icy shoulders without causing body or undercarriage damage.
* Battery Failure Chains: Repeated cold starts and short trips between storms drain batteries faster than normal winter driving. Halifax Towing's mobile battery boost service [https://towinghalifax.com/battery-boost/] responds across all HRM neighbourhoods for fast jump-starts-no membership or subscription required.
* Visibility Collisions: Blowing snow and whiteout conditions have contributed to multi-vehicle incidents on Nova Scotia highways this season. The company provides full accident towing with direct insurer billing, on-scene cleanup, and vehicle storage-requiring no upfront payment from the driver.
A Fleet Built for the Maritimes
Halifax's coastal climate delivers a unique combination of heavy, wet snow, freezing rain, and rapid temperature swings that demand specialized equipment. Halifax Towing has outfitted its fleet to handle every scenario:
* Flatbed Towing: AWD vehicles, luxury cars, and low-clearance models require all four wheels off the ground during transport. The company's flatbed towing [https://towinghalifax.com/flatbed-towing/] trucks prevent drivetrain and transmission damage that traditional hook-and-chain methods can cause.
* Car Unlocking: Freezing temperatures jam electronic fobs and stiffen manual locks-one of the most frequent calls during storm season. Halifax Towing's car unlocking technicians use non-destructive entry methods that protect modern electronic locking systems.
* Heavy-Duty Recovery: The fleet includes heavy wreckers for commercial trucks, buses, RVs, and industrial vehicles-keeping Halifax's supply chain and transit lines moving when conditions deteriorate.
* Long-Distance Transport: For drivers who need vehicles moved out of the storm zone or across the province, the company offers long-distance towing [https://towinghalifax.com/long-distance/] with exact quotes based on distance, vehicle type, and destination.
Transparency When It Matters Most
Storm events often bring surge pricing and hidden fees from less established operators. Halifax Towing has built its reputation on the opposite approach. Every call begins with an upfront quote before any work is performed, and dispatchers provide real-time ETAs by text so drivers know exactly when help is arriving.
"When someone is stuck on the side of the road in a blizzard, the last thing they need is a pricing surprise," Moher added. "We quote it before we tow it-every time, every call."
Serving All HRM Neighbourhoods
Halifax Towing provides roadside assistance [https://towinghalifax.com/roadside-assistance/] coverage across the entire Halifax Regional Municipality, including Downtown Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Clayton Park, Fairview, Spryfield, Cole Harbour, Armdale, North End Halifax, and South End Halifax.
