This is the best summary I could come up with:

Much of the Avalon Peninsula, including schools and public transportation, is shuttered Friday due to an ongoing storm bearing down on parts of Newfoundland.

Environment Canada has issued winter storm warnings for about half the island, stretching from the Avalon Peninsula to Buchans and the interior, as well as parts of the southern shore.

Metrobus and GoBuses have suspended public transport services in the metro region, and Memorial University’s St. John’s, Marine Institute and Signal Hill campuses, as well as its child-care centre, are not opening.

The Public Service Credit Union and Scotiabank locations in the St. John’s area, Bay Roberts, Carbonear, Burin Peninsula, Clarenville and Bonavista also won’t open Friday.

On the Burin Peninsula, St. Lawrence Mayor Kevin Pittman said conditions in the town were “pretty white” as of Friday morning.

Wind is picking up speed, gusting between 60 to 70 kilometres per hour, he said, and windows on the sides of homes are covered in ice from the freezing rain.
