But those places were spared snow. Up to five centimetres were forecast for Newfoundland91裸聊视频檚 northern peninsula, while forecasts for the island91裸聊视频檚 west coast were for up to 10 cm.
This latest blast of winter weather comes almost two weeks after a late spring storm buried cars in snow, closed a slew of Newfoundland schools, and dumped more than 35 centimetres of snow at Gander International Airport on May 24.
Strong northeast winds gusted to 80 kilometres an hour and the temperature hovered at around -2 C in Gander, bringing back memories of a May storm in 2013 that brought more than 69 centimetres of snow to the community.
