January 2020 Forecasts and Discussions

Reviewing the last 8 hours on radar it looks like the intensity of the storm was just shredded to death once it hit Vancouver Island. So not much moisture even made it here. Well, this is ok since it will help us maintain our snow cover.

That was my point earlier. I had no idea why there were meteorologists who thought there was enough moisture for this to be a winter storm. Most if not every model was dry. Radar did end up promising but turns out the models were right here.

Well that was underwhelming, even though I didn't stay up for it (knocked out because of consecutive late nights this week )

In other news, this was from the NL weather summary from EC this morning :

A new all-time daily snowfall record was established yesterday at
St. John's International Airport.

New record: 76.2 cm (January 17, 2020).

which is a 24 hour period ending at 2:30 A.M. NST on January 18. An

At St. John's International Airport the official wind sensor
malfunctioned during the storm. Reported winds were estimated to be
between 65 and 85 knots (120 to 157 km/h). However, it will likely
not be possible to provide a verified maximum gust.

The wind sensor at Gander International Airport also briefly
malfunctioned. The highest gust at the nearby Gander climate station
was measured as reaching 97 km/h.
