Another blast of snow has made much of Newfoundland look like winter again and caused numerous closures and delays on the Avalon Peninsula.

Thick snow in the St. John's area has coated the roads, making for slow, slippery driving, while numerous flights were delayed or cancelled altogether at the St. John's International Airport.
