As if we haven’t had enough of them this winter, Mother Nature is preparing to drop another hit to the island.
Environment Canada has issued an alert about a storm moving into eastern Newfoundland.
The snow will fall over about a 24-hour period – Tuesday night through Wednesday night. A total of 15-25 cm is on the way, but combine that with northeasterlies 60-80 km/h and conditions will, at times, be blizzard-like.
The target zone will be the Avalon Peninsula, Clarenville-Bonavista, and Terra Nova is expected to have lesser amounts of snow in the adjacent areas.
Environment Canada meteorologist David Neil says with the snow tracking slightly off-shore, it’ll bring uncertainty in how much the island will get.
Another 1 cm of snow last night in #GanderWest, bringing our season-to-date total to the 400 cm mark.
On avg we see another ~180 cm after mid-February, so unless there’s a dramatic shift, we should have no trouble exceeding the seasonal normal of 443 cm. May happen soon! #nlwx pic.twitter.com/pZ2ZaRJLV0
