Climate and Seasonal Impact
- Winter Weather: Newfoundland and Labrador experience harsh winters, with significant snowfall and ice that can affect both driving and public transport schedules. It’s important to be prepared for potential delays and to have appropriate winter gear for travel. A critical aspect of winter driving is ensuring your vehicle is equipped with winter tires, which provide better traction on snow and ice. Regular tire changes, ideally before the first snowfall, are necessary to enhance safety on the roads.
