Periods of snow continued through the morning for several regions of the Big Land.

—@thefutureyouseeResidents who woke up to see snow on their lawns and cars can expect to see some more before the weekend is over.
Five to ten centimetres is expected over parts of the mid-coast starting in the afternoon and into evening, and may even persist into Monday.

—@the_shortwaveEnvironment Canada is advising people to adjust their driving with the changing road conditions.
While the winter weather may be a shock for people living in Labrador, seeing photos of the snow from the region is helping some folks in St. John's feel a little bit better about the rain and fog.
