OTTAWA—The airport and businesses remained closed in the capital of Newfoundland in Atlantic Canada on Saturday in the wake of a massive winter blizzard that buried cars in snowdrifts and caused an avalanche in one neighborhood.
The storm dumped as much as 75 cm (29 inches) of snow on the city of St. John’s and packed wind gusts as high as 130 km per hour (81 mph). Mayor Danny Breen said a state of emergency declared on Friday remained in effect.
