It’s the biggest snowfall since Snowmageddon.
In excess of 50 cm fell on St. John’s since late Tuesday, with reports over over 70 cm in Paradise.
According to NTV’s Ryan Harding, over 300 cm has fallen this winter in Eastern Newfoundland. The number is much higher in the Gander area.
The city held a press conference late Thursday to update on storm maintenance, noting workers are hoping to have a grip on cleanup by late this afternoon.
