  1. We get a nice break after for a whole week or so under that ridge, it will be good for the clean up.
  2. No reports out there, unfortunately. Im think someone on the NW avalon got over a meter, but no confirmation.
  3. A few from walk to work today, I struggled finding a way completely there that was plowed. I had to walk through some deep snow to make it in. I added a pic from Pitts Memorial that I didn't take. That's the main route into downtown St. John's from the Trans-Canada.
  4. Right. I mean the big blizzard generally top out in that range everywhere. Theres a limit to how much a single storm can produce especially at sea level. The 20" on the ground before the storm makes it worse. Mt pearl is reporting 54" depth.
  5. Kinda surprised nldtw isn't anticipating calling in the feds for help. I hope it's not a matter of ego or provincial pride.
  6. Yeah. Huge euro victory on this one...medium and short term.
  7. Great big sea! Can't tell where that is. Maybe Georgetown? The driting doesn't look crazy high near my apt.
  8. I'll post some more pics on my walk to work in a few hours.
  9. Highest total was mt pearl cocorahs at 36.7". I got to walk into work at 1pm local since the state of emergency is still on and my other coworker can't drive in.
  10. Yyt sets new calendar day record of 69 cm/27.2" passing april 4th 1999.
  11. These are some shots (not mine) from the battery, a cliffy area of st. John's where an avalanche came into someone's house. There was an avalanche in a similar crazy blizzard that killed 5 in feb 1959.
  12. Yeah first state of emergency since the 1984 ice storm in early april.
  13. My pressure difference estimates compared to the 1959 storm were giving me 110 km/h (60 kt) sustained anyway. So that was better I think than modeled winds
  14. Funny enough I think the nw Avalon got even more snow than we have so far. Better 700 fronto there today.
  15. Its estimated it seems way too high. But bonavista is 139 g 164 which is way higher than modeled so I could see something like 110 g 150 in stj given unblocked wind from the north.
  16. CYYT 172110Z 05065G//KT 1/4SM +SN BLSN VV003 M04/M04 A2864 RMK FG8 WND ESTD SLP707 haha
  17. 23.8" mt pearl cocorahs 18" yyt (Who knows though, really)
  18. Most of yyts biggest storms happen in an -ao regime. Theres no correlation here between nao and snow here only temps.
  19. It's about halfway through in terms of accumulations i think. I had 70 cm/28 inches in our forecast yesterday morning when I left. 2 is a given, 3 footer is realistically possible. Im concerned I'll lose power in the winds this evening.
  20. anywhere from 15 to 17" has fallen so far.
  21. Approaching 12" so far. Yyt has an anemometer outage. I hope they can get that up for tonight winds.
