QUICK STORM UPDATE

Hey Folks,

Just a few quick points here.

-Already we've seen Winds gusts of 95 km/h at Sagona Island, 90 km/h at Grates Cove and 84 in Bonavista. However the Centre of this storm is just now passing East of the Island... so the next few hours we're really going to see the winds begin gusting beyond 100 km/h.
-The leading edge snowfall has now passed to the North and Northwest, however now we're going to be seeing new bands of Snow develop from the Centre of the Storm as this thing continues to gain strength and track North. This means this afternoon where going to be seeing periods of Heavy Snow... then it will ease... and then another period of Heavy Snow... for most of the afternoon.
-Some areas have already seen as much as 10 cm... I think 30 cm's isn't out of the question for some folks living on the Avalon and Bonavista Peninsula.

Happy Shoveling!

Ryan

Hi,
You are right on the money or snow should I say. We had snow this morning(few flurries) then freezing drizzle, now flurries and blowing snow.
Keep up the good work. Please say that the snow is over after this one. Can't take much more of this dreary weather.

Ryan as of 12:30 today down here in Branch we have had no snow and even the sun has come out for a brief time. Lots of wind however.

That is on the south west avalon.

Hi, Ryan...the big question was when to do the snowblowing...I went out yes (female)!! and snowblowewed about 12:30......but is now 4:30, and I think I'll go out again.My neigbours just finished up....and although we will get more, it's best to get the heaviest out of the way now...before the next volley of precip....by the way ..... The Environment Canada Model for Friday looks very omninous...what's with that.....rain or snow???

All the best to you --
Glad you will continue on...and also that Krysta will be returning -- you'd make an awesome duo.....
