ST. JOHN’S – Another winter storm has left shovellers in eastern Newfoundland looking for somewhere to put all the snow, but police have warned them to keep it off the roads.
Environment Canada said the snow began in some areas on Tuesday evening, spreading toward the island’s northeast coast and continuing until late Wednesday night.
Some parts of St. John’s, the provincial capital, have been buried under 56 centimetres of snow.
The nearby communities of Mount Pearl and Paradise saw 65 cm and 74 cm, respectively.
RCMP issued a warning on social media saying residents could face fines for shovelling snow from driveways onto roads.
Environment Canada says nearly 330 cm of snow has fallen in St. John’s since Nov. 1, while totals in Gander, in central Newfoundland, have hit 434 cm.
