Brief report of mixed snow/rain at Wabush Airport earlier, the first of the season. No accumulation there so far, but it's starting to stick just across the border in nearby Fermont. ❄️

There it is: evidence of fresh snow in the Torngat Mountains. ❄️

Shows up unmistakably in MODIS imagery when comparing the last clear day (Sep 5) with today (Sep 12).

One of the local stories of 9/11 was how hot it became aboard the diverted planes, with no A/C and thousands of passengers unable to disembark for 24+ hours.

#NLwx was in the midst of an unseasonably warm stretch for September, driven by an upper ridge dominating the North Atlantic.

A dose of wintry precipitation showing up in the guidance for the Torngat Mountains tonight, and a bit of a sloppy mix possible in the higher portions of the Mealy Mountains tomorrow night. ❄️ #nlwx

Sunny Tuesday morning at Cape Ray! #nlwx

Interesting weekend to be in Cape Breton; lots of flooding in River Bourgeois after 150-200+ mm of rain. Washouts and road closures in serval locations. #nsstorm.

Some of this en route to #nlwx (though will lose a good bit of its punch).

Sunny and wind-free in Channel-Port aux Basques! #nlwx
September 3, 2026 at 10:57 AM

Still no 30°C days at Gander #YQX this year as of Aug 31. Barring a fall anomaly, 2026 will be the first year since 2016 without one.

Quite a diff from 2025 in #NLwx, which saw 5 days ≥30°C in St. John's, 8 in Gander & 10 in Badger.

Yet PAB set a new all-time record high of 28.2°C this year! 🌡️
