Cleanup begins across the Avalon as winter weather system starts move out of Newfoundland

(Katie Breen/CBC - image credit)Katie Breen/CBCThe cleanup is on across eastern Newfoundland on Sunday after a winter storm dumped more than 50 centimetres of snow on parts of the St. John's area. A weather station in St. John's east reported 52 centimetres on the ground as of 6:30 a.m. Sunday, while the weather station at St. John's International Airport reported 49 centimetres of snow. The 49 centimetres reported at the airport is also the most recorded over a two-day period in St. John's since the infamous "Snowmageddon" blizzard of 2020. Many of the flights departing St. John's have been cancelled Sunday morning, while flights scheduled to leave in the afternoon are either currently on time or delayed. It was a very heavy snow with it hovering around freezing."
