A Royal Aviation Boeing 737-200 cargo flight landed at St. John's in snow and blowing snow with a tailwind. Its ILS was unserviceable and the wind it was given came from an iced anemometer. The aircraft touched down late and fast on a snow-covered runway, overran the end and stopped in deep snow. No one was hurt.
