CDC: Strong evidence in-person schooling can be done safely (AP) The nation’s top public health agency said Friday that in-person schooling can resume safely with masks, social distancing and other strategies, but vaccination of teachers, while important, is not a prerequisite for reopening. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its long-awaited road map for getting students back to classrooms in the middle of a pandemic. But its guidance is just that—the agency cannot force schools to reopen, and agency officials were careful to say they are not calling for a mandate that all U.S. schools be reopened. There’s wide agreement that learning in the classroom is more effective and that students can face isolation and learning setbacks at home. But teachers unions in some areas say schools have failed to make buildings safe enough to return.
Relentless wintry weather to bombard much of US into next week (AccuWeather) If it feels like winter has been serving up more wild weather than usual lately, that’s because it has been. According to AccuWeather meteorologists, this recent frosty stretch of snow, ice and frigid temps has been the most active winter weather pattern across the country likely since the mid-1990s. And that pattern is not letting up as several weather systems are lining up and threatening more snow and ice for the Midwest and Northeast through the end of next week. Winter storms could arrive every two to three days amid the tumultuous pattern, which is due in part to a major buckling of the jet stream.
Doodles and giggles: Some senators spend impeachment trial in distraction (Washington Post) They doodled. They nodded off. They kicked their feet up. They giggled. They tapped their fingers impatiently. They passed notes. This wasn’t the conduct of high school teenagers, but rather U.S. senators during an impeachment trial intended to hold accountable former president Donald Trump, who was impeached by the House on a charge of inciting his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. On the Democratic side Friday, several senators laughed or shook their heads in disbelief as Trump’s attorneys showed footage of them and other Democrats urging their supporters to “fight” for one cause or another, attempting to draw a comparison between that and Trump’s rhetoric before the Jan. 6 riot. And on the Republican side, many senators throughout the week have treated the proceedings with barely disguised contempt, viewing the impeachment trial as an unconstitutional attack on a former president who is not culpable in the violence. “I think there is a general air of disrespect, from what’s been reported, and in certain cases performative disrespect,” said Frank O. Bowman III, a University of Missouri law professor and expert on impeachment. “It disrespects not just the process, but the institution.” According to Stephen Gillers, a Constitution and ethics expert at the New York University School of Law, “The Senate proceeding has as much resemblance to a real trial as the heart on a Valentine’s Day card has to a real one. The judge is a juror, some jurors announced their verdict before the trail, and there are no rules of evidence or witnesses. So what’s one more transgression?”
Trump acquitted: Senate votes 57-43 at impeachment trial (AP) The Senate on Saturday acquitted Donald Trump of inciting the horrific attack on the U.S. Capitol, concluding a historic impeachment trial that exposed the fragility of America’s democratic traditions. Barely a month since the deadly Jan. 6 riot that stunned the world, the Senate convened for a rare weekend session to deliver its verdict, voting while armed National Guard troops continued to stand their posts outside the iconic building. The verdict, on a vote of 57-43, was far from the two-third threshold required. Trump, unrepentant, welcomed the his second impeachment acquittal and said his movement “has only just begun.” He slammed the trial as “yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country.” Though he was acquitted, it was easily the largest number of senators to ever vote to find a president of their own party guilty of an impeachment charge.
Mexican president hails Biden’s border wall freeze (Reuters) U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to stop new construction of his predecessor’s signature wall on the border with Mexico received a vote of confidence from his Mexican counterpart on Friday. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters at his regular morning news conference that he supports Biden’s executive order, one of his first actions on becoming U.S. president. Lopez Obrador also urged U.S.-bound migrants to hold back from seeking to cross illegally just because of the change in presidents.
53 Tons of Rotting Pork and Other Brexit Nightmares (NYT) As the new year made Brexit a reality, Tony Hale encountered the pitfalls of Europe’s redrawn geography. Specifically, he confronted the need to extricate 53 tons of rotting pork products from administrative purgatory at a port in the Netherlands. For more than two decades, Mr. Hale’s company had shipped pork to the European Union without customs checks, as if the United Kingdom and the continent across the water were one vast country. With Britain now legally outside the bloc, exporters suddenly had to navigate inspections, safety regulations, and a bewildering crush of paperwork. For Mr. Hale, incorrectly prepared documents meant sending five containers full of pork to an unplanned final destination—the incinerator. The trade deal Britain struck late last year with the European Union stopped tariffs from being imposed on goods exchanged across the English Channel, but did not prevent the revival of customs procedures, health and safety checks, value-added taxes on imports, and other time-consuming, commerce-limiting hindrances. Businesses across Britain are now contending with paralyzing confusion and unfamiliar bureaucratic hurdles.
Part of River Thames freezes amid sub-zero temperatures (Guardian) In scenes reminiscent of the Great Freeze of 1963, part of the River Thames froze over as temperatures in Britain plummeted to sub-zero temperatures this week. The bitter chill from the Baltic led to the river at Teddington Lock, south-west London, partially freezing over, becoming a skating rink for local birdlife. At this section of the Thames, on the non-tidal side, water flows more slowly, so it is more susceptible to icing over. It did so to spectacular effect in January 1963, the coldest winter for 200 years, as blizzards covered the country in deep snow drifts. Surreal scenes included a man cycling on the Thames near Windsor Bridge. Elsewhere, people skated outside Buckingham Palace, and a milkman delivered his round on skis as snow lay on the ground for 62 consecutive days in the south of England. Modern times, however, have seen nothing compared to January 1814, when the last Frost Fair on the Thames was held. Then Londoners were able dance, play skittles, and drink purl – a mix of gin and wormwood wine similar to vermouth – from pop-up pubs and gingerbread sellers who set up stalls on the thick ice. Oxen were roasted on spits, and an elephant was even marched across the river alongside Blackfriars Bridge.
Dutch get their skates on in Amsterdam before the thaw (AP) Dozens of skaters took to the frozen surface of Amsterdam’s historic Prinsengracht canal Saturday as the deep freeze gripping Europe briefly made it possible to skate on a small section of the canal for the first time since 2018. People skated and walked on a small stretch of ice between two bridges close to the landmark Westerkerk before growing cracks in the ice forced all but the most daring off the ice. One man even slithered across the ice on a skateboard deck without the wheels. It was the first time since 2018 that skating was possible on the canal. Elsewhere in the country the ice was safer. People flocked to frozen lakes and canals to enjoy the conditions before a thaw forecast to begin in coming days. Parents pulled children in sleds, youngsters played hockey, even dogs took to the ice.
Germany to reinstate border controls over coronavirus variant (Euronews) Germany is to close its borders with the Czech Republic and the Austrian Tyrol region—both zones with high infection rates of contagious COVID-19 variants. The measure will come into force on Sunday evening, with some exceptions which are currently under discussion. Travellers coming from certain areas of Austria or the Czech Republic will have to provide proof of a negative coronavirus test in order to enter Germany, a requirement that will present a hurdle for thousands of cross-border workers.
‘Snow apocalypse’ blankets frozen Moscow (Reuters) Heavy snowfalls have buried Moscow in massive snow piles, disrupting transport, delaying flights and making it tough to get around for pedestrians braving strong winds and temperatures of minus 15 Celsius (5 Fahrenheit). The snowfall started late on Thursday and was expected to end on Sunday. Russia’s emergency service advised people to stay away from trees, warning of winds gusts of 18 metres per second (40 mph). “It’s a real snowstorm, a snow Armageddon, a snow apocalypse. This is not a practice alert, but a combat alert,” Evgeny Tishkovets from the weather service Fobos was quoted by RIA news agency as saying before the snowfall began. By early Saturday, snow depth in the city reached 56 centimetres (22 inches), Fobos said.
Clashes, blasts intensify across Afghanistan (Reuters) At least four Afghan security force members, including a commander, were killed and seven were critically injured in blasts in eastern and southern provinces on Saturday, officials said, adding that three civilians were injured in the east. A string of near-daily roadside bombings in recent weeks has killed government officials, judges, journalists and activists. The bloodshed comes as U.S.-brokered peace talks in Qatar between the Taliban and representatives of the Afghan government have staggered in recent months. President Joe Biden’s team is reviewing a peace-building deal that the government of his predecessor Donald Trump sealed with the Taliban in February 2020. The pact requires all American and allied forces to leave the country by May 1. The United States has reduced the number of troops in Afghanistan to 2,500 from the 12,000 there when the agreement was signed. But violence remains high, with the U.S. and Afghan governments largely blaming the Taliban.
Anger over arrests in Myanmar (Reuters) Opponents of Myanmar’s military coup sustained mass protests for an eighth straight day on Saturday as continuing arrests of junta critics added to anger over the detention of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Thousands marched in the business hub, Yangon, while protesters took to the streets of the capital Naypyitaw, the second city Mandalay and other towns a day after the biggest protests so far in the Southeast Asian country. “Stop kidnapping at night,” was among the signs held up by protesters in Yangon in response to arrest raids in recent days. The United Nations human rights office said on Friday more than 350 people, including officials, activists and monks, have been arrested in Myanmar since the Feb. 1 coup, including some who face criminal charges on “dubious grounds”. Some arrests have taken place during the hours of darkness. Internet memes captioned “Our nights aren’t safe anymore” and “Myanmar military is kidnapping people at night” have circulated widely on social media.
White House cites ‘deep concerns’ about WHO COVID-19 report, demands early data from China (Reuters) The White House on Saturday called on China to make available data from the earliest days of the COVID-19 outbreak, saying it has “deep concerns” about the way the findings of the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 report were communicated. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement that it is imperative that the report be independent and free from “alteration by the Chinese government”, echoing concerns raised by the administration of former President Donald Trump, who also moved to quit the WHO over the issue. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed WHO investigators, reported Friday that China had refused to give the World Health Organization raw, personalized data on its early COVID-19 cases that could help determine how and when the virus first spread in China.
Strong quake hits Japan’s northeast coast (AP) A strong earthquake hit off the coast of northeastern Japan late Saturday, shaking Fukushima, Miyagi and other areas, but there was no threat of a tsunami, officials said. The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which had meltdowns following a massive earthquake and tsunami 10 years ago, was checking to see whether there were any problems following Saturday night’s magnitude 7.1 quake. There were no immediate reports of irregularities from other nuclear plants in the area. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said that some 860,000 homes were without power as a result of the quake.
UN: Over 2 million Yemeni children may starve in 2021 (AP) More than 2 million Yemeni children under the age of 5 are expected to endure acute malnutrition in 2021, four United Nations agencies said Friday, urging stakeholders to end the yearslong conflict that has brought the Arab world’s poorest country to the brink of famine. The U.N. report warned that nearly one in six of those kids—400,000 of the 2.3 million—are at risk of death due to severe acute malnutrition this year, a significant increase from last year’s estimates. The report also said a lack of funds was hampering humanitarian programs in Yemen, as donor nations have failed to make good on their commitments. Compounding the crisis, around 1.2 million pregnant or breastfeeding women in Yemen are also projected to be acutely malnourished this year. “These numbers are yet another cry for help from Yemen, where each malnourished child also means a family struggling to survive,” said David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Program.

California Faces Historic Power Outage Due to Fire Danger
PG&E plans to proactively turn off power to 800,000 customers in parts of several Bay Area counties and across much of Northern, Central and coastal California due to heightened fire danger.
The outage will mark the largest preventative outage in state history to try to avert wildfires caused by faulty lines.

List of Bay Area school closures due to power shutoffs
PG&E said it would begin turning off power to 800,000 customers in 34 counties starting after midnight Wednesday amid forecasts of windy, dry weather that create extreme fire danger. To the south, Southern California Edison also said Tuesday that more than 106,000 of its customers in parts of eight counties could face power cuts. PG&E said the power will be turned off in communities in stages.
In the Bay Area, the public safety power shutoffs could impact more than 250,000 customers across Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma counties, according to PG&E.
The news came as residents in the region’s wine country north of San Francisco marked the two-year anniversary of deadly wildfires that killed 44 and destroyed thousands of homes. San Francisco is the only county in the nine-county Bay Area where power will not be affected.
The planned outages have prompted many schools and colleges in the Bay Area to cancel classes. See a full list of school closures here.
Traffic is also expected to be impacted and commuters have been warned by Caltrans to brace for possible closures of the Caldecott and Tom Lantos Tunnels. The tunnel closures could begin as soon as Tuesday evening and continue for up to five days. Caltrans said it is working with PG&E to provide emergency power to keep the tunnels in operation.
The shutoffs could potentially last for several days, according to PG&E.
The county-by-county breakdown below shows how many Bay Area customers could be impacted by the shutoffs:
Alameda County: 32,613 customers in Oakland, Castro Valley, Fremont, Union City, Berkeley, Hayward, San Leandro, Sunol, Pleasanton, Livermore.
Contra Costa County: 40,219 customers in San Ramon, Orinda, Lafayette, Moraga, Pinole, Richmond, Kensington, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, El Cerrito, El Sobrante, Berkeley, Canyon, San Pablo, Pittsburg, Rodeo, Concord, Albany, Antioch, Martinez.
Marin County: Updates to come
Napa County: 32,124 customers in Napa, Saint Helena, Calistoga, Angwin, Pope Valley, Rutherford, Oakville, Deer Park, Lake Berryessa, Yountville, American Canyon.
San Mateo County: 14,766 customers in Half Moon Bay, El Granada, Woodside, Moss Beach, Montara, Portola Valley, Pescadero, La Honda, Redwood City, San Gregorio, Loma Mar, San Mateo, Menlo Park, Emerald Hills, Pacifica, Princeton.
Santa Clara County: 38,123 customers in San Jose, Morgan Hill, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Redwood Estates, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Coyote, Gilroy, Mount Hamilton, Palo Alto, Holy City.
Solano County: 32,862 customers in Fairfield, Vacaville, Suisun City, Vallejo, Dixon.
Sonoma County: 66,289 customers in Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Petaluma, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, Glen Ellen, Penngrove, Geyserville, Kenwood, Rohnert Park, Windsor, Annapolis, Stewarts Point, Cotati, Cazadero, Guerneville, Larkfield, El Verano, Boyes Hot Springs, Fulton, Bodega Bay.
PG&E's plans to proactively cut power were prompted by high winds and low humidity in the forecast. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the hills and valleys in both the North Bay and East Bay from 5 a.m. Wednesday until 5 p.m. Thursday. A Red Flag Warning has also been issued for the Santa Cruz Mountains between 5 p.m. Wednesday and 12 p.m. Thursday.
Some of the most destructive blazes in California in recent years were started by PG&E power lines. Winds can knock down live wires and power poles or drive trees and other vegetation into contact with them.

Wildfires broke out Sunday night and Monday in California's prized wine country, advancing with stunning, and potentially deadly, speed across the dry and gusty Napa and Sonoma Valleys. A total of 14 fires in northern California had destroyed about 1,500 structures as of Monday morning, local time, putting this event as among the most destructive in state history. At least one death has been reported, along with an unknown number of injuries, based on local media reports. Winds gusting to 55 miles per hour fanned the flames in Napa and Sonoma County overnight. CalFire Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox told KTVU on Monday that the Tubbs Fire, located between Santa Rosa and Calistoga, "exploded" in size overnight, from 200 to 20,000 acres. SEE ALSO: How to prepare for natural disasters “It was an inferno like you’ve never seen before,” Marian Williams, who escaped the Tubbs Fire before dawn near the town of Kenwood, told the Associated Press. “Trees were on fire like torches,” she said. During the day on Monday, other destructive fires broke out in southern California, as well. Aerial video footage from KTVU showed numerous homes burning or destroyed in Santa Rosa. Entire neighborhoods, at least two hospitals, and senior centers in northwestern Santa Rosa were reportedly evacuated. As Windsor Fire Chief Jack Piccinini told the publication, Sonoma County is struggling due to a lack of resources needed to fight fires of this magnitude. Neighboring counties have been sending equipment and crews to help fight the blazes.

Wildfires broke out Monday in Anaheim, forcing evacuations of entire neighborhoods. October has long been associated with California's worst wildfires, particularly in southern California, where Santa Ana winds tend to develop more frequently than at other times of year. This is also the end of the dry season in the state, when vegetation tends to be most ready to ignite. Larger-scale trends are amplifying wildfire risks across the West, as well. We're building more in areas that border forested lands where fires are commonplace, for example. Global warming is also helping to make larger fires more common across the West in particular, as spring snow cover melts earlier, and forests dry out more than they used to during the dry season. In the West, the 2017 wildfire season has been unusually severe, with 8.5 million acres burned to date, compared to the 10-year average of about 6 million by this time. Canada has also had an unusually severe wildfire season, with numerous large blazes torching millions of acres in British Columbia and Alberta, in particular.

Wildfires broke out Monday in Anaheim, forcing evacuations of entire neighborhoods. October has long been associated with California's worst wildfires, particularly in southern California, where Santa Ana winds tend to develop more frequently than at other times of year. This is also the end of the dry season in the state, when vegetation tends to be most ready to ignite. Larger-scale trends are amplifying wildfire risks across the West, as well. We're building more in areas that border forested lands where fires are commonplace, for example. Global warming is also helping to make larger fires more common across the West in particular, as spring snow cover melts earlier, and forests dry out more than they used to during the dry season. In the West, the 2017 wildfire season has been unusually severe, with 8.5 million acres burned to date, compared to the 10-year average of about 6 million by this time. Canada has also had an unusually severe wildfire season, with numerous large blazes torching millions of acres in British Columbia and Alberta, in particular.

Wildfires broke out Sunday night and Monday morning in California's prized wine country, advancing with stunning, and potentially deadly, speed across the dry and gusty Napa and Sonoma Valleys. A total of 14 fires in northern California had destroyed about 1,500 structures as of Monday morning, local time, putting this event as among the most destructive in state history. Winds gusting to 55 miles per hour fanned the flames in Napa and Sonoma County overnight. CalFire Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox told KTVU on Monday that the Tubbs Fire, located between Santa Rosa and Calistoga, "exploded" in size overnight, from 200 to 20,000 acres. SEE ALSO: How to prepare for natural disasters “It was an inferno like you’ve never seen before,” Marian Williams, who escaped the Tubbs Fire driving with neighbors through flames before dawn near the town of Kenwood, told the Associated Press. “Trees were on fire like torches,” she said. Aerial video footage from KTVU showed numerous homes burning or destroyed in Santa Rosa. Entire neighborhoods, at least two hospitals, and senior centers in northwestern Santa Rosa were reportedly evacuated. As Windsor Fire Chief Jack Piccinini told the publication, Sonoma County is struggling due to a lack of resources needed to fight fires of this magnitude. Neighboring counties have been sending equipment and crews to help fight the blazes. Marin County, for example, sent 22 fire engines, along with 5 ambulances, as well as numerous crews to assist the effort. This fire is horrific. Cars, buildings destroyed. Untold homes http://pic.twitter.com/XDl1UhtJY3 — Jill Tucker (@jilltucker) October 9, 2017 "Everyone in Sonoma County is spread out fighting these fires, but they don't have enough resources to handle something like this. The only thing we can do is hope the wind will come down," Piccinini told the paper . The rapid speed of these fires raises the potential for casualties, given that residents had little time to flee the flames. The Santa Rosa Fire Department tweeted that the fire had grown to 20,000 acres — which is astonishing considering the fires broke out mere hours before. The #TubbsFire is now at 20,000 acres. — SantaRosaFire (@SantaRosaFire) October 9, 2017 20,000+ acres burnt in a matter of hours due to 50+ mph wind gusts and <15% humidity. @CAL_FIRE reps saying the rate of spread is unheard of — Sean Wince (@SeanWince) October 9, 2017 Images and video surfacing on social media show just how extensive the damage is already, and how smoke can be seen from surrounding areas — all the way into downtown San Francisco. saw numerous ambulances enroute north 101 and SF is completely hazed in ash #napafire http://pic.twitter.com/LBoCrmSF8x — Micheal Benedict (@micheal) October 9, 2017 Mobile home park in Santa Rosa is gone.

As of Monday morning, much of northern California is under Red Flag Warning, which means critical fire weather conditions — such as wind, humidity, and temperature — are present that would ensure that any fire that breaks out could spread rapidly and become severe.

Eddie’s Monday night forecast – April 3, 2017
FORECAST SUMMARY
An intense area of low pressure will meander off the east coast of Newfoundland for the next 24 to 36 hours. The low will bring heavy snow to much of central and northeastern Newfoundland, while eastern, southern and western areas see consideraby less in the way of snowfall. Winds will also be high, with gusts in the 70 to 100+ km/h for central and the South Coast tonight into Tuesday. The weather across our Island will finally begin to improve late Tuesday night and calmer weather arrives by Wednesday morning.
http://ift.tt/2ov3L4Y
SNOWFALL
The snowfall forecast hasn’t changed much since Saturday evening. I’m still thinking that between Monday morning and Tuesday evening, areas from Gander to near Terra Nova and northeastward to Bonavista Bay will see between 50 and 70 cm of snow. Areas just to the west, as far west as Grand Falls-Windsor and as far east as Clarenville and points north to the coast (including the Bonavista Peninsula) will see 30-50 cm of snow. This area will see see strong winds, creating areas of blowing and drifting snow. The heaviest snow will fall tonight into Tuesday morning. Lighter snow can be expected Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night.
The Avalon Peninsula, Burin Peninsula, South Coast as far west as Burgeo, Interior and Green Bay – White Bay will see 15-30 cm of snow. Lesser amounts will be found on the West Coast and in extreme southern Labrador.
NOTE ABOUT THE AVALON
Between Sunday night and Monday morning, many areas on the Avalon saw about 20 cm of snow. Between tonight and Tuesday night, an additional 5-10 cm is likely, which will boost totals to 25-30 cm. If we get heavier snow than what I’m currently expecting, amounts in some spots may total over 30 cm.
WINDS
Strongest winds will be found tonight into tomorrow mid-day across the coast of central and northeast Newfoundland and the South Coast. Wind gusts will exceed 100 km/h in these areas, making for very difficult travel when combined with the snow. Even areas inland will see gusts to near 90 km/h. If you’re in central, I’d advise you to not travel tonight unless necessary. On the Avalon, we will see gusty winds tomorrow, but tonight they will be relatively light due to being so close to the low’s centre. The same will be true on the West Coast. Gusty winds will be found on the Northern Peninsula.
TEMPERATURES
Temperatures across the Island will hover near freezing over the next 24 hours or so on the Island. For most, readings will remain at the goose egg or a couple degrees below.
LABRADOR
Other than a few flurries in the southeast, it will be very quiet across the Big Land tonight and tomorrow. Temperatures tonight between -10 and -15. Tomorrow will see a mix of sun and cloud, with some flurries in the southeast. Highs near freezing.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!

Eddie’s Sunday afternoon forecast update – April 2, 2017
Not much has changed in my forecast thoughts from yesterday. Snowfall amounts have become a little clearer, however. Below is an updated forecast, which is largely the same as yesterday’s.
Blizzard and Wind Warnings, along with Blowing Snow Advisories are in effect from Environment Canda for large areas of the Island. Details here: http://ift.tt/1dOSJME
THE FORECAST
An area of low pressure currently off the eastern seaboard of the United States will move northeast and slowly pass east of the Avalon Peninsula between tonight and early Wednesday morning. During this time period, more active weather can be expected across Newfoundland.
Snow will develop late this afternoon and Sunday evening across the South Coast, interior Newfoundland, the Burin, Avalon and Bonavista Peninsulas along with the area near Clarenville. Snow will then push across the rest of the Island Sunday night, becoming heavy at times for eastern areas after midnight.
By Monday morning, warmer air will push across the Avalon Peninsula, and will change the snow over to rain, through a period of ice pellets and freezing rain. The rain snow line will continue to push back west through the morning, and should make it as far west as a Burin Peninsula to Bonavista Peninsula line by lunch time Monday. Meanwhile, areas from Terra Nova westward, including the South Coast, will see snow becoming heavy at times Monday morning through Monday evening.
Once into Monday evening the rain/snow line will move back east, and off the east coast of the Avalon Peninsula. Central and northeast Newfoundland will see moderate to heavy snowfall through the night, into Tuesday morning. Eastern areas will also see snow Monday night, but it should be in the light to moderate category. Snow will taper to flurries for all areas Tuesday morning, and should end by mid afternoon or early evening depending on how quickly the low departs.
WINDS
Most areas of the Island will see winds from north or northeast, gusting in the 70 to 100 km/h from Sunday night through late Tuesday night. The highest wind speeds look to be found around Bonavista Bay and on the South Coast, where gusts may peak as high as 120 km/h Monday night and Tuesday. The high wind will create low visibility, along with areas of blowing and drifting snow.
TEMPERATURES:
Much like the last storm, temperatures for many areas will hold near freezing through the majority of this event. Areas that are expecting mainly snow will see readings on the negative side and areas that see some rain will see readings go from the negative side Sunday night, to the positive side Monday and back below Monday afternoon or evening.
PRELIMINARY SNOW AND RAIN AMOUNT FORECAST
*Avalon Peninsula: 15-30 cm → 10-20 mm rain
*Bonavista Peninsula: 30-40 cm → 2-10 mm rain

* The majority of the snow will fall Sunday night into Monday morning. Additional light snowfall is likely Monday night and Tuesday. This has been factored into the forecast above. *

The majority of Sunday will be dry. There will also be some sun. Temperatures hover into the single numbers below freezing for afternoon highs. Winds from the NE at 20-30 km/h through the day, turning more easterly late afternoon.

Eddie’s Saturday afternoon forecast – April 1, 2017
Image credit: Bridget Patey
APRIL FOOLS, NOT SO MUCH
Today is April 1st. Some call it April Fool’s Day. Some play practical jokes on this day. Last year, if you recall, I went on the NTV Evening News Hour and declared that I was ditching the metric system and going back to imperial/US units because, as an American, I wanted to impose my will on you! It was a joke that I thought was pretty funny… although I did get one email, an actual email, complaining to me that we shouldn’t go back to imperial units and Canada is on Metric and we should stick to it. Someone didn’t know the date or didn’t watch more than 30 seconds of the forecast when I declared a big APRIL FOOLS!
“Why are you talking about April Fools, Eddie?”, is a question I bet lots of you are wondering as you’re reading this. Here’s the answer; there is another storm on the way that looks to bring more significant snow, rain and wind to the Island between tomorrow night and Tuesday night. I wish I could tell you this was a big joke, but it’s not. Another not-so-funny forecast fact… a third system is on the way Wednesday into Thursday, and yes it’s currently slated to bring more snow. (collective groan)
