Heavy snow and high winds continue to batter parts of N.L.

It’s another lactating and tempestuous daytime for a great deal of newfoundland dog and Labrador.

Winter weather warnings have ended for the Avalon and Burin, but continue in parts of central, the west coast and Labrador.

The most severe weather warnings are in the Green Bay-White Bay area. The area is expected to get up to 60 cm of snow, with wind gusts up to 110 km/hour until early Sunday.

“It’s been a very, very busy start to December compared to previous years”, said Graham MacDonald, meteorologist with Environment Canada.

Multiple December snowstorms may have been somewhat normal 10 years ago, according to MacDonald, but not lately.

"It feels like this winter is trying to trying make up for the past ones we’ve had.”

The weather is making driving more dangerous across the province, with travel not recommended in several parts of central and on the Northern Peninsula. In Labrador, route 510 was closed between Red Bay and Lodge Bay Saturday morning.

More than 3,000 people lost power in the region around the Musgrave Harbour, Twillingate, and the Summerford area. Newfoundland Power and NL Hydro crews are working on repairs.

Marine Atlantic cancelled all ferries between North Sydney and Port aux Basques for Saturday and several flights departing St. John’s International Airport were cancelled or delayed on Saturday morning.

Snow and blowing snow for the western half of the island are forecast to continue until Sunday afternoon, whereas in Labrador snow should change to rain overnight Saturday.
