Shovels ready: Another winter storm warning issued for St. John's area
CBC
Just as residents on Newfoundland's east coast are able to relax after a huge dumping of snow earlier in the week, another winter storm warning is in effect for Saturday night into Sunday afternoon.
Environment Canada suggests another 20 to 30 centimeters could fall on the St. John's area and into the southeast Avalon Peninsula, with a fall rate of two to four centimetres per hour and wind gusts between 80 and 100 km/h.
Environment Canada said conditions will rapidly deteriorate through the night with the wind and fresh snowfall causing widespread reduced visibility.
Environment Canada recommends postponing non-essential travel or allowing extra time.
The weather is expected to improve gradually throughout the day on Sunday as the snow tapers to flurries.
Environment Canada also issued a coastal flooding statement for the region, as water levels are expected to be higher than normal starting Sunday morning.
Elsewhere on the island, Green Bay-White Bay, parts of the Northern Peninsula and Red Bay to L'Anse-au-Clair have their own winter storm warnings.
Green Bay-White Bay could see another 20 to 30 centimetres Saturday and through the night.
The Northern Peninsula could see about 10 centimetres, but it's expected to end Saturday night.
Much of the remainder of the island — from the east, through central and into Labrador — is under wind warnings and blowing snow advisories.
