Snow and School Closures in Western Newfoundland

Corner Brook this morning

It doesn't look like May along the west coast of Newfoundland.

In Corner Brook, after a day of flurries that melted on contact on Tuesday, the snow has started sticking as of Tuesday night and as of 10:30 am NDT there is 4.5 cm of snow on the ground.

Over the course of today, 10 cm is possible over higher elevations of the Bay of Islands area.

Meanwhile for the Gros Morne and Parson's Pond - Hawke's Bay region, accumulations may reach as high as 25 cm.

The snow will begin to ease tonight.

Even today on May 1st, there are some school closures on the Great Northern Peninsula.

Some roads are in poor shape. Consider postponing non-essential travel.
