A blizzard marked by high winds and fiercely blowing snow pushed into Newfoundland Tuesday morning, spreading east to west to create stormy conditions, closures and poor driving across the island. Most schools in western, central and eastern Newfoundland, including metro St. John's, shut down for the day. Blowing snow started overnight and into early Tuesday morning, as howling winds wiping out visibility in areas of eastern Newfoundland.
Those conditions, extended to the west coast by mid-morning, worsening through the afternoon as the storm picked up speed. High winds were also posing challenges for navigation across the island, with police urging caution on highways.
