the storm hasn't started here yet, however, the winds are already gusting at 78km/hr...it's gonna be wild later..
Blizzard conditions with gusty winds and visibility frequently near zero in snow and blowing snow are expected or occurring. Snow, heavy at times, will spread over northeastern Newfoundland this evening, and then continue overnight and through Saturday, though may occasionally mix with ice pellets over the Terra Nova National Park area late tonight. Total amounts are forecast to reach 30 to 50 cm, with the bulk of the accumulation occurring during nighttime hours. In addition, strengthening north to northeasterly winds will accompany the snow resulting in blizzard conditions, with gusts expected to range from 80 km/h inland to 110 km/h along the coast. Conditions will improve late Saturday afternoon as winds ease and the snow tapers off. Travel is expected to be extremely hazardous due to reduced visibility. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve
