We’re at 37 cm.
The heaviest snow is now offshore.
#nlwx
I must be missing a cm somewhere. I only see 35.
35 cm reported at St. John’s airport. Snow is starting to wind down but the strong winds will continue for the next few hours.
Northwest winds gusting near 70 km/h will continue all day. #nlwx
It’s a snow day! #nlwx
Our first blizzard warning of the year is in place for the Avalon.
20-35+ cm for the Avalon tapering to flurries Monday AM and early afternoon. 10-20 cm for the rest of eastern Newfoundland.
NE then NW gusts between 80-110 km/h after midnight through noon. The strongest winds between 3-9 am.
No surprise but January was well above normal across the province which led to more rain and less snow right across the board.
Happy Valley-Goose Bay tied for their warmest Jan on record and most were within their top 5, except PAB and Stephenville.
