Power outages, wind damage as winter storm lashes Newfoundland
CBC
Around 6,000 Newfoundland Power customers were left without power Sunday morning as high winds, rain and snow pounded the island.
Special weather statements and winter storm warnings have been issued for parts of Newfoundland and Labrador, as Environment Canada projects a mess of rain, wind and snow to hit the island, lasting into Monday morning.
Gander weather office meteorologist Veronica Sullivan said that as of 6:30 a.m. NT, 10 mm of rain had been recorded at St. John's International Airport, with another 30 to 50 mm still to come.
"We can expect rain and drizzle all day today for the Avalon Peninsula, with amounts ranging between 10-20 mm and that will continue into the evening as well," she said.
The high winds have also cancelled Marine Atlantic ferry crossings to and from North Sydney for the day, and left hazardous conditions for drivers on highways and other roads.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary in St. John's issued a warning to drivers downtown that high winds and flying debris had left a significant amount of broken glass on Harbour Drive, with cleanup crews already on the scene.
High winds will continue to pose problems.
"That's going to be the case where much of the island today," said Sullivan, "especially coastal areas. We're looking at winds between 90 km/h to 110 km/h
