PHOTOS: Newfoundland’s Stormageddon
70 cm of snow has fallen in some areas of the province!
Newfoundland is in a state of emergency with blizzard and storm surge warnings in effect. Power crews are working to restore electricity to around 21 000 people. #stormageddon2020 is trending on Twitter and Newfoundlanders have been sharing their experiences with these unbelievable photos and videos.
