After winter's first significant entrance to the eastern part of the province, parts of Labrador are now bracing for up to a metre of snow over the weekend.
Public safety officials warned residents along the north coast to have 72-hour emergency kits ready, citing possible snow accumulations between 50 and 100 centimetres and winds up to 90 km/h.
