Gander has set a new record as central and parts of eastern Newfoundland go through a late-season snowstorm.
Snowfall began Wednesday evening, setting a record of 20.2 centimetres for May 23.
The snow continued to be heavy overnight, and another 12 centimetres had fallen by 7:30 a.m. NT Thursday.
"Good exercise, but I'm rotted," said Amber Bennett, who had to find her shovel which was stored for the summer she expected.
At 5:45 a.m. Thursday, she was putting it to work.
Lorne Maxwell was shovelling out on Bennett Drive in Gander.
"If I was smart, I'd move to Florida or somewhere," he laughed. "Other than that, it's Newfoundland. It could be worse."
Snowfall warnings are in effect from Terra Nova in the east to Grand Falls-Windsor in the west, and schools in the area are closed for the morning.
My special weather observer helped me measure the tabletop snow load. 33 cm, pretty much exactly what the airport is reporting! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nlwx?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#nlwx</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gander?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Gander</a> <a href="https://t.co/Te2lxxR8yk">pic.twitter.com/Te2lxxR8yk</a>

Western Newfoundland was also getting snow, while the Avalon Peninsula had heavy rain overnight.
