Driving is difficult on much of the island with a winter storm bearing down on the Avalon, south coast, east coast and parts of central.
A lot of public buildings and services are shut down and some private businesses have called it a day meaning there is little traffic on the roads.
A winter storm warning is in effect for the south coast and Avalon Peninsula, with snowfall warnings through central and a blowing snow advisory in place for the west and southwest coast.
Environment Canada meteorologist David Neil says the most significant snowfall is expected on the south coast, central Newfoundland and the Avalon before it peters out in the overnight hours.
Neil says areas under winter storm and snowfall warnings could see total snowfall amounts in the 15 cm to 25 cm range by the time all is said and done.
Things improve considerably tomorrow but flurries will persist, with stiff winds and temperatures well below freezing.
