The snowfall has ended across most the province, but not before dropping amounts that rival Snowmageddon totals.
The winter storm warning for the Avalon Peninsula finally ended just before noon today, with people emerging to begin the task of shovelling, snowblowing and snowplowing.
As of 7:30 this morning, at least 70 centimetres had been recorded at St. John’s airport, with up to 80 cms closer to the eastern coastline.
By noon, Kilbride had topped with list with 90 cms, followed by Bay Roberts with 80.5. Paradise, C.B.S., C.B.N and St. John’s east all fell within 75 and 80 cms, while St. John’s airport ended up with almost 72 cms.
Snowmageddon numbers were in the 90 to 100 cm range.

While the snow has ended, the fallout continues.
The City of St. John’s is keeping all of its facilities closed for the day to allow for cleanup and with safety in mind, while Metrobus and GoBus are off the roads and the Avalon Mall remains closed.
A full list of cancellations can be found on the VOCM Storm Watch page.
The current calm could be short-lived, however.
Environment Canada says the Avalon Peninsula could be in for more snow and rain late Monday into Tuesday.
