Well, when I left back on the 2nd of December... St. John's was sitting at 17 degrees!
I barely landed in St. John's last night at the airport, after a 3 or 4 hour delay in Toronto, and then I wake up to this!!!
I guess it's save to say Winter has officially arrived EVERYWHERE across the Province.
Anyway, it's great to be back... I missed you all and I'm looking forward to the next few months of my first ever Newfoundland Winter.

Alright a quick rundown of what's going on right now. That same system that almost cancelled my flight in Ontario yesterday has quickly tracked Northeast and sits in the the Gulf of St. Lawerence as we speak.

This is a very strong low with wild winds. Take a look at some of the recorded winds from around the Province...
