Low about 650 km south of Yarmouth as of 3:30 pm NST and tracking over an area not particularly rich with data. Looking set to bring a period of snow, wind, and blowing snow to the Avalon Peninsula tomorrow – but uncertainty remains around exactly how much! #nlwx

12z models show decent clustering of pcpn amounts for incoming storm. Cdn guidance slightly slower than foreign but been trending up. Could have to multiply by up to 1.5x to get snow in cm for Clarenville, but closer to 1.0 under the dendrite smashing winds at St. John's. #nlwx

Almost the end of January, but finally the first 'decent' snowfall of the season for central and eastern parts of the island. Snow-to-liquid ratios of 15 to 20+ to 1 certainly helped to give the accumulations an extra boost in Central! #nlwx
