The St. John’s metro area has already exceeded the average winter snowfall amounts for the region, with 376 cm of snow having fallen since November.
Meteorologist Rodney Barney says with plenty of winter left, those amounts are only going to keep getting higher.
“Typically , in a normal…winter there’s only about 363 cm of snowfall on average, so we’re above that. I know folks probably don’t want to hear it, but climatologically, about 30 per cent of the winter is still ahead of us.”

With 165.2 cm Feb 1-22, St. John’s #YYT is now <5 cm from its snowiest February on record (170.1 cm, 2006) and closing in on its snowiest calendar month (173.4 cm, Dec 2000). A few more days to get there! #nlwx pic.twitter.com/CnB3F5h9ls

Barney says the metro region is on track to become the snowiest February on record.
“If we get another, say 5 or so cm of snow between now and the end of February, which appears very likely, it will finish off as the snowiest February on record. That’s pretty much a guarantee at this point, we’re just a few cm short of the record right now.”
Another 5 cm is in the forecast for tonight, followed by light rain tomorrow afternoon.
