ECCC upgraded to a winter storm warning for the northeast Avalon.

The snow is just starting for the southern Avalon and will continue to spread north over the next few hours.

Our first blizzard warning of the year is in place for the Avalon.

20-35+ cm for the Avalon tapering to flurries Monday AM and early afternoon. 10-20 cm for the rest of eastern Newfoundland.

NE then NW gusts between 80-110 km/h after midnight through noon. The strongest winds between 3-9 am.

No surprise but January was well above normal across the province which led to more rain and less snow right across the board.

Happy Valley-Goose Bay tied for their warmest Jan on record and most were within their top 5, except PAB and Stephenville.
