yellow warning - snowfall - in effect
Significant snowfall continues.
Locations: the Avalon Peninsula.
Total snowfall: near 15 cm, except potentially less in areas that mix with or change over to ice pellets.
Time span: continuing until this evening.
Remarks: Gusty winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility at times in blowing snow.
Snow may mix with or change over to ice pellets over southern portions of the Avalon Peninsula early this evening, including parts of the Southern Shore, reducing snowfall totals in these areas. There is also a risk of freezing rain over southern portions of the Avalon Peninsula early this evening.
Snow or ice pellets will eventually ease to flurries or freezing drizzle this evening and end overnight.
