Digital Reporter
Monday, January 16, 2017, 12:10 PM - A passing system buried Newfoundland's Avalon peninsula, including the capital St. John's, with more than 30 cm of snow overnight into Monday morning.
Environment Canada says St. John's East received some 34 cm from the storm, while the airport escaped with a mere 22 cm.
Several flight delays were reported, schools and university campuses in the area announced a delayed start, while on the roads, blowing snow made for difficult conditions for those who were able to successfully dig out.
Below is a selection of tweets from the aftermath of the storm.
