Overnight last night we lost Dad to a short battle with cancer. Whether you knew him as Joey, Dolph, Eli, or Kevin, he always left an impression. His humility would deny that. Husband. Father. Grandfather. Rest easy, Dad. With fond memories, we'll miss you.

Roads around metro are snow-covered and slippery. If you don't have 4WD or AWD capabilities, you're going to have trouble in places. While I wasn't on any highways just now, I assume they're in horrible shape. #nltraffic #nlwx @NTVNewsNL

A tow truck has just arrived to recover a car that has gone off the ramp from Brier Ave to TGH southbound. Traffic will be slowed until it's removed. There's also reports of a couple more accidents in the metro region. Again, many roads have become quite slick #nltraffic #nlwx

Snow is now falling faster than any municipality could possibly keep up with, and roads are quickly becoming slick. Watch your stopping distance! #nltraffic #nlwx @947ozfm

Let's not forget that many chains and corporations headquartered in the US have national, provincial, and local owners, operators, and employees. Boycotting many of these businesses out of vengeance towards DT will also negatively affect the local economy.

Too often, drivers speed past emergency or utility/recovery vehicles on the side of the road without moving over. It puts everybody at risk of not making it home to their family. #nltraffic

If you plan on walking any trails today, don't slip and fall. Get yourself some cleats for the ice that's hiding under that thin layer of snow. #nltraffic #nlwx
