It's worth noting that a slight shift in the track of the low could move the heavier band of snow over St. John's, or farther north into Terra Nova.
There will also be wind gusts out of the NE, then NW near 80 km/h tomorrow night. This will create reduced visibility.

Snow changing to rain, risk of ice pellets in the east.
Snowfall elsewhere.
Wind gusts 60-100 km/h, highest on the coast, which will result in blowing snow/reduced visibility.
