Valentine’s Day storm brings heavy snow, high winds into early Friday

Posted: February 13, 2024 6:47 pmSnow spreads across the Island overnight and will continue through late Thursday or early Friday over much of the Island and through much of the weekend in coastal Labrador. This is because of a slow-moving Nor’Easter. The storm is currently located off the coast of New England. It will pass east of the Avalon tomorrow and then stall in the Labrador Sea into Friday before finally departing… albeit slowly.

The bulk of the snow is going to fall on Wednesday on the island, but the accumulating snow will continue into early Friday. In Labrador, the snow will continue into the weekend. Snowfall amounts on the Island will peak over 60 cm in the east and northeast, with lesser amounts to the west. Labrador will see as much as 60 cm for some coastal areas as well by Sunday.

My forecast confidence is high; however, late Wednesday morning into the afternoon, some areas of the southern shore may see the snow mix with ice pellets or rain. If that happens, amounts in that area will be less than areas just west and north. I don’t think this mix line makes it as far north as the Metro, but I’ll be watching the radar and listening to the windows closely tomorrow afternoon for ice pellets.
