LABRADOR CITY, N.L. — The final day of August felt more like winter along the Quebec-Labrador border — it snowed.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary tweeted photos of snow collecting along a highway in Labrador’s southwest corner near the Quebec border on Thursday night.
The police force warned people to “slow down!” on the Trans-Labrador Highway because of slippery conditions.
The photographs inspired a mix of shock and resignation on social media, including one Newfoundland woman who insisted they must be “fake news.”
