HALIFAX – Much of the Atlantic region was under a winter storm warning Sunday and continued overnight into Monday morning.

The eastern part of Newfoundland was under a yellow warning, meaning Environment Canada was expecting short term and moderate impacts from the weather.

The yellow warning ran from Port aux Basques up to St. Anthony, with up to 35 centimetres of snow expected and high winds.

In the Gander area, the warning was at an orange level, meaning weather could cause significant damage and impacts could last for several days.

In that area, winds were projected to reach up to 130 kilometres per hour, with near-zero visibility from blowing snow.

Further south, parts of Nova Scotia and eastern Prince Edward Island were also under yellow storm warnings, with Environment Canada forecasting up to 40 centimetres of snow and messy conditions.
