Schools from the Avalon Peninsula to Clarenville will remain closed throughout Monday as the region digs out from an overnight snowfall.<\/p>\n

About 12 centimetres of snow fell in St. John’s overnight, according to Environment Canada, with a further 2-4 centimetres expected throughout the morning. Winds gusting to 60 km\/hr created drifting and poor visibility in some areas.<\/p>\n

A winter storm warning remains in effect.<\/p>\n

Metrobus also delayed its services Monday morning, with a further update by noon. The departures board at St. John’s International Airport is also showing a long list of delayed or cancelled flights. <\/p>\n

The snow also brought the justice system to a halt, as all four courts in St. John’s were closed for the morning.<\/p>\n

Memorial University’s St. John’s campuses will also remain closed for the day.<\/p>\n
