That turned into quite the winter wallop with about 20-25 cm of snow on the Avalon Peninsula.
It began snowing Friday morning on the southern Avalon but when it spread to metro, it came fast and furious.
The metro region largely shut down as Metrobus took refuge indoors and the mall and liquor stores closed up.
and police recommended drivers to stay off the TCH because of reduced visibility and poor driving conditions.
The weather on the weekend calls for steady improvement.
