The weekend brought the first widespread rainfall the island has seen in a while; highest amounts occurred over western and southwestern areas. #nlwx

Also if it stays above zero through the night, will influence if things harden back up or not

Down to 87 cm now... most of the decrease happened this morning, been pretty stable since the wind dropped back

Backyard Science! 🤓

Took a full core sample of snowpack in #GanderWest before pending thaw.

Avg depth 104 cm has yielded 279.1 mm water equivalent. Also some ice underneath that couldn't be cored (maybe another 30-50 mm worth of water).

Most should end up in the ground in the coming weeks! #nlwx

Noticeable sea ice growth past 6 days.

Picked up 6 cm of fresh snowfall in #GanderWest (5 mm water equivalent) today. Not huge, but at this point every addition leaves a mark. #nlwx

Crisp air and blue skies to start March 3; low -14.6°C overnight in #GanderWest.

Snowbanks not going anywhere yet, with cold air looking to stay dominant this week. A brief rise to near 0°C Wed looks like the one exception, but will be accompanied by a fresh 5-10 cm of snow. #nlwx

February's snow in the rearview.

While record-breaking totals made headlines in the east, other parts of #NLwx told a different story: Corner Brook saw its least snowy February since 2010, and Labrador finished below normal as well. 📊 All reflecting a farther-east storm track!

A very great help indeed! #nlwx

Official snowfall yesterday 6.0 cm at St. John's #YYT puts the total for Feb 1-26 at 178.2 cm, meaning February will go in the books the snowiest calendar month on record for the airport. Previous month with most snow was December 2000 with 173.4 cm.

Records began in 1942. #nlwx

Tapering to a mix of very light snow and freezing drizzle in #GanderWest; measuring 5.5 cm of accumulation today through 2 pm. Water equivalent 5.2 mm. #nlwx

There was another 2.0 cm yesterday, so only needed > 1.2 today. Now a question how how much it's exceeded by?

It's now official: St. John's #YYT snowfall 170.2 cm Feb 1-24 makes this February this snowiest on record! Previous record for the month: 170.1 (2006). ❄️

A couple days left plus more snow coming, so good chance to also beat Dec 2000’s 173.4 cm for most in any calendar month. 📈 #nlwx

With 165.2 cm Feb 1-22, St. John’s #YYT is now less than 5 cm from its snowiest February on record (170.1 cm in 2006) and closing in on its snowiest calendar month (173.4 cm, Dec 2000). A few more days to get there! #nlwx

As of February 22, St. John’s #YYT has recorded 376.4 cm of snow this season — already past the full-season 30-year average of 363.4 cm. Climatology says ~30% of the seasonal total still falls after this point… which would be another ~110 cm in a typical year. ❄️📈 #nlwx

Relatively tame event for northeastern Newfoundland, totalling 8.4 cm overnight into this morning in #GanderWest. Main issue was the blowing and drifting snow, as the snowbanks continue to grow. #nlwx

Finished off with 33.8 cm in #GanderWest (water equivalent 32.8 mm). Brings the depth of snow on the ground to the 100 cm mark.

Now to clean up and get ready for future snows to come! ❄️ #nlwx

Still snowing, though does seem to be slackening a bit. Measuring 27.7 cm through 10pm in #GanderWest (snowwater equivalent 26.8 mm). Will see what the rest of the night brings in the morning! #nlwx

A fairly constant snowfall rate for the past several hours has put us at 19.7 cm in #GanderWest as of 6pm. SWE 19.3 mm, so it has been trending towards a more dense nature.

Snow drift getting to the top of the fence in the corner! #nlwx

Low centre moving away toward the northeast, but a persistent conveyor of moisture wrapping back around it. Rates near 2 cm/hr in #Gander over the past couple of hours. Lesser rates and wetter on the coast and across the Avalon this afternoon where temperatures are milder. #nlwx

Not getting anywhere near the accums that areas further east are reporting, but it's rather drifty in #GanderWest with temp still below zero. Also had 0.5 mm of preceding freezing drizzle overnight to make surfaces slippery.

Measuring 7.3 cm as of 11 am (SWE 6.5 mm). #nlwx

Another 1 cm of snow last night in #GanderWest, bringing our season-to-date total to the 400 cm mark.

On average we see another ~180 cm after mid-February, so unless there’s a dramatic shift, we should have no trouble exceeding the seasonal normal of 443 cm. May happen soon! #nlwx
