PAL Airlines and Aerospace meteorologist, Brian Walsh, is tweeting that this is the little low that could.
Walsh says a compact system is bringing moderate to heavy snow across the Avalon and Burin Peninsulas this morning.
The snow may mix with rain at times but should end early this afternoon. Much of the region will see between 10 to 20 cm before it’s done. Yesterday’s forecasts indicated only around 5 cm.
