Only 5.4 mm of rain fell during the thaw in #GanderWest, so it was mainly warm temps, humidity, and wind that did a number on the snowpack. Now averaging 44 cm depth as refreeze begins (equating to roughly half of the 90 cm that was on ground just after Sunday’s snowfall). #nlwx

Rain-maker now exiting east of the island 🌧️ Heaviest totals along the south coast, led by Grey River with 100+ mm. Notable amounts also up the west coast into the Labrador Straits. #nlwx

Final peak 104 km/h yesterday at Wabush #YWK; strongest since Nov 30, 1991 (also 104 km/h), and first 100+ km/h since Oct 5, 2002 (102 km/h). Also, sharp cooldown: YWK 7.6°C (Tue max) to -26.8°C (low thru 9 am). Goose Bay #YYR: 13.4°C (Tue max) to -15.6°C (this a.m.). #nlwx

@ddabbott_david There was another 9 cm between 06z-12z that didn't get included in the Mar 15 daily total for some reason, will require followup

Quick snapshot of snowfall totals from our weekend stormlet, while we enjoy a brief break between two rounds of active #NLwx!

Near ground blizzard conditions on my drive home earlier this morning. Taken on the way out of Cape Freels. #nlwx

A solid helping of fresh powder to start the day: measuring 20 cm through 9am in #GanderWest (16.5 mm water equivalent). That bumps the season-to-date snowfall past the 500 cm mark, now sitting at 514 cm since October. ❄️ #nlwx

Snowfall 3.5 cm in #GanderWest as of 11:30 pm, with big fluffy snowflakes coming down. #nlwx

Full summaries of the Thursday-Friday storm across the province are now available: #NL" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">weather.gc.ca/warnings/weath…. Highlights: 60 cm of snow along the Labrador Straits, 90 mm rain along parts of the the south coast of Newfoundland, and widespread wind gusts over 100 km/h. #nlwx

Chilly start to the day in western Labrador. 🥶 March 14, 2026 low of -41.3°C at Wabush #YWK makes for a tie with March 14, 1964 (-42.8°C) for the LATEST DATE IN THE SEASON to reach -40°C or colder. Records since 1960 show no -40s between Mar 15 and Dec 8. #nlwx

After the rain and/or snow yesterday, some strong gusts followed as the associated low pressure rapidly intensified to our north. #nlwx

@PaulASAP most of that number would've been from yesterday's component, definitely much more solid form today (not included in that total)

@rcbstormpost Much of that 'rainfall' total in Stephenville felt much like snow. Got even more snow afterward. Still a little more blowing around.

Some updated rainfall totals from the departing system as of 4:30 pm: 91.3 mm (Burgeo); 76.2 mm (Ramea); 51.6 mm (St. Alban's); 34.1 mm (Port aux Basques); 24.0 mm (Stephenville); 15.8 mm (St. John's #YYT). #nlwx

Solid winter weather underway in Labrador with a few more hours of accumulations to go. Amounts since Thursday morning, as of 5pm ADT: 42 cm (L'Anse au Loup); 35 cm (Mary's Harbour); 21 cm (Makkovik); 17 cm (Goose Bay #YYR). #nlwx
