Localized pockets on the island starting off with minimums near or just above freezing this morning, but it appears to be the last of this type of air mass for a bit. Warmth is right on the doorstep, with today set to commence a more sustained stretch of summerlike conditions.

Not a scorcher by any means, but a more summerlike feel across Newfoundland for Tuesday’s highs. For St. Anthony & Twillingate, it was the first 20+°C day since October 7 (a true testament to the seasonal lag along our coasts). The island won’t see 20s again though until Friday. 🌡️

official snowfall 2.8 cm yesterday. As most, if not all, melted on contact, this is more of a reflection what would've accumulated at a 10:1 snow to liquid ratio (per NAVCAN SOPs) had it not melted. Nevertheless, brings the total since October to 534.0 cm; most since 2002-03.
