SYDNEY, N.S. (CP) - Parts of Atlantic Canada were in the grips of
blizzard conditions Thursday that caused major travel disruptions.

The storm was lashing Cape Breton, Newfoundland and Prince Edward
Island. High winds along with between 10 to 20 centimetres of snow were
lashing Cape Breton Island. The Canso Causeway was closed. Schools and a
number of businesses were also closed and poor visibility had police
warning motorists to stay off the roads.

The Department of Transportation was also warning about road conditions
and asked motorists to avoid travelling on the Cabot Trail north of Cape
Smokey and between Margaree Harbour and Cheticamp.

Marine Atlantic's late morning crossing from North Sydney to Port aux
Basques, Nfld., was also postponed until Thursday night, weather
permitting.

Meanwhile, many parts of Newfoundland were being hit by the storm.
Western and central Newfoundland were going through a blizzard, while
further east, freezing rain or rain was hitting the Burin and Avalon
peninsulas.

Most areas were experiencing high winds and the Marine Atlantic ferry
Joseph and Clara Smallwood was holding off Port aux Basques, Nfld.,
because the wind was gusting up to 110 kilometres an hour.
