  1. Water St. Is bumper to bumper, light to light, the whole length right now; very narrow as parking lanes not really plowed and cutting a few feet off either side. Can't recall it ever being so jammed up, outside of a blizzard.

  2. Looks like maybe a bit under 20 cm down. ~15 cm to go followed by ~6 mm rain according to the forecast.

    Not actually wet and heavy: the snow is light and fine, blowing everywhere with moderate drifting.

  3. The 'Svitzer Bedford' in port this morning. There are two other tugboats currently in port as well; the 'Placentia Pride' (Voith escort tug, operates around Come by Chance), and the tiny 'Dalton Guardian'.

    The Bedford is a modest ~50T+ escort tug, built around 2005.

    Nice morning out, crisp cool and sunny with little wind

  4. Early morning yet, overnight snow accumulations are more than I expected. Peak per-hr accumulation should be right now... but snowfalls will continue through Tuesday, upto 50cm expected with strong winds (>100km/h). Wet.. heavy.. snow.

  5. At 9:30pm, the airport weather station (#CYYT) recorded winds of 97 km/h, gusting 141 km/h.

    Last report is still high, 86 gusting 117.

    Neighbours fence might not survive the balance of the night. I tied off one of the posts to my deck, but with only paracord on hand I dunno if it will hold up.

  10. Sloppy, wet, heavy, snowblower clogging snow piled a mile high at the driveway foot, full of ice chunks, in the misty morning fog.

    Took 2-3 hours and a full tank of gas to clear this morn. Prob be a sore fella this evening.

  11. Some wind out there. Airport reports nearly 140 km/h gusts.

    Fence is still there. Power outages spreading, including NE side of town. Flights obviously cancelled, so are ferries.

  12. Aviation weather for St. John's International airport (Canada) is β€œCYYT 191300Z 24017G24KT 15SM FEW015 FEW030 SCT220 05/01 A2993 RMK SC1SC1CI2 SC TR SLP141” : See what it means on bigorre.org/aero/meteo/cyyt/en #stjohnsinternationalairport #airport #stjohns #canada #cyyt #yyt #metar #aviation #aviationweather #avgeek vl

  13. Pink/orange sunrise over St. John's this morning. Warmish and windy.

    Watching a little waterfall that is falling up rather than down.

  14. There is an oiler in port, sitting quite high in the water. I presume this means the Irving tanks up high on the southside hills are now full.

    With the replenished salt mountain at the Harvey wharf, and all the Coast Guard boats now out of drydock and onto the water, it is no trouble to tell winter is approaching.

  20. I wonder how long these #PayPhones will continue to exist here. By the old Fortis building, #StJohns.

    There used to be a bunch of payphones nearby on Water St., which would be used by (international) vessels tied up at the quay, in the days before the harbour fence.

  21. #Newfoundland launches a new ’buy local' campaign, 'Buy From Newfoundland and Labrador' with a yellow logo.

    I guess this takes over from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters NL (CME-NL) 'Manufactured Right Here' program, which used to have little Nfld flag rondels everywhere but I guess it kaput now.

    Nifty, but.. won't yellow blend in with the jam jam packaging?

  22. St. John's salt mountain. It's about twice so high now, pretty much ready for winter. Unsurprisingly, the fence is pretty rusted along the bottom.

    It'd be amazing if we could find a functional replacement for this stuff.
