Environment Canada has issued blizzard warnings for almost the entire island, upgrading the special weather statements about significant snowfall and high winds that had been in effect for most of Newfoundland. Environment Canada forecasts the snow will turn to ice pellets or freezing rain by Monday afternoon, before becoming snow again Monday evening, tapering to flurries on Tuesday. Here we snow againOur next storm ramps up tonight & Monday with gusty winds, snow & rain. Conditions will be much the same throughout most of the island, with varying amounts of snowfall expected. Environment Canada says the northeasterly winds will keep the pack ice along northeast-facing coastlines and may cause ice pressure to build up as winds increase.
