Boxing Day Storm: Newfoundland's Messy Mix of Snow, Slush, and Wind (2026)

The storm that kicked off on Boxing Day continues to wreak havoc across various regions of the province, and it’s far from over.

Particularly affected are the Avalon Peninsula and eastern Newfoundland, where approximately 10 centimeters of fresh snow started to fall in the early evening hours, coinciding with the increase in wind speeds. While the snowfall has now transitioned to drizzle in some areas, the road conditions remain hazardous. Travelers should be cautious, as many roads are currently a challenging mix of snow, slush, and standing water, making driving quite treacherous.

In contrast, central Newfoundland and the west coast are still experiencing ongoing snow, with predictions that these areas will endure substantial snowfall both today and into the evening. Additionally, parts of Labrador are also expected to feel the impact of this stormy weather.

But here's where it gets controversial: while some may find the winter's fury beautiful or exhilarating, others worry about the safety hazards it brings. How do you feel about the winter storms? Do you embrace them as a part of life, or do they bring more discomfort than joy? Share your thoughts!
