January 2020 Observations and Discussion

Got down to 20 this morning which is still above average LOL.

Anyway, my observation of the day comes from Newfoundland, CA.  Just read the specifics of what those folks are experiencing from this 961mb absolute beast!  Remember 2.54cm/1" and 1.62km/1mile.

Dangerous blizzard conditions are expected, with very strong winds and visibility near zero in heavy snow and blowing snow.

Locations: Avalon Peninsula, Clarenville and vicinity, and Bonavista Peninsula.

Total snowfall: 35 to 75 cm, with highest amounts occurring over the northern Avalon Peninsula.

Maximum wind gusts: northerly 120 km/h, except 150 along parts of the coast.

Conditions are expected to improve early on Saturday for most areas but strong winds and blowing snow will persist over coastal areas exposed to the north into Saturday afternoon.

Damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur. Store or anchor objects so they are not tossed by the wind causing injury or damage.

Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. If you do travel and become lost, remain where you are until the blizzard has passed.

Blizzard warnings are issued when widespread reduced visibilities of 400 metres or less are expected for at least 4 hours.
