It’s a sloppy mess on the Avalon Peninsula with slippery roads and lots of slush after about 10cm of snow last night and overnight.

In Central Newfoundland and on the west coast, the heavy amounts of snow fell, creating tricky driving conditions with numerous advisories from the Department of Transportation regarding travel on the highways.

Central got between 15 and 20 cm while the west got about 20 cm with another 5-10 cm to come today.

Julianna Paul, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says it was a real mixed bag of weather on the Avalon.

She says snow turned to ice pellets, then freezing rain, then back to ice pellets then back to snow. More rain, drizzle or flurries are expected today.

Temperatures on the island will rise this morning to as high as eight degrees, then will begin dropping this afternoon to around zero and well below freezing overnight. Roads and sidewalks will get quite icy.
