The storm that blasted much of Newfoundland on Wednesday is making its way through Labrador.
The Department of Transportation and Works said Thursday that a section of the highway in southern Labrador has been closed.
Drivers are being warned to stay off the highway between Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Cartwright because of blizzard conditions.
Schools in southern Labrador are also closed for the morning.
On the island, the RCMP in Deer Lake and Lewisporte asked people to avoid driving if at all possible, due to whiteout conditions. Police in Lewisporte noted two cube vans had rolled over just east of the Lewisporte junction on the TCH.
Additionally, several schools, many on the Northern Peninsula, cancelled classes altogether or delayed opening until mid-day.
Marine Atlantic said ferries are staying in port until late Thursday night due to high wind conditions.
