The ocean's handiwork on display: an iceberg arch in the Strait of Belle Isle. 🧊 #nlwx

Winter's "one last tour" continues. Snow showing up in the guidance for parts of #NLwx, yet again.

Any accumulation should be confined mainly to high elevations, because it'll be June 8 after all. The season, however, seems intent on stretching this farewell as long as possible.

After a wintry start, a tranquil finish to Friday in LAL. #nlwx

Let's just have a do-over for May, shall we?

A little June 1st flurry underway in L'Anse au Loup. Not related to the system affecting the Avalon, but from a cold pool aloft drifting down from the north). #nlwx #Labrador

Happy April 22nd! #nlwx #Gander

What a difference between 2 winters. ❄️

Snow depth at #GanderWest down to 23 cm this morning after successive days of melting. Max was 112 cm (Feb 25).

For contrast, last winter peaked at just 28 cm SOG… while this season stayed above that mark for 116 consecutive days! #nlwx

A fluffy coating of fresh snow to kick off this 4th day April. ❄️

Bit more to go yet, but 7.8 cm measured as of 9am in #GanderWest. Water equivalent just 3.6 mm, making for a rather dry ~22:1 snow-to-liquid ratio! #nlwx

Pitchers since at least 1900 with 10+ strikeouts and no walks in their first 2 starts of a season:

Kevin Gausman. That's the list.

On a play where Alex Ovechkin could have gotten his 1000th career goal, the players urged Cole Hutson to get his 1st.

Hockey players are the best.

Congratulations to Buck Martinez on a legendary career!

Martinez announced his retirement today from Sportsnet, where he became the voice of Blue Jays baseball.

On top of broadcasting for Toronto, Martinez also spent the final 6 years (1981-86) of his playing career with the Blue Jays and managed Toronto in 2001 and 2002.

Vigorous flurry working through #Gander. Coupled with temperatures near -11°C and winds gusting to 50 km/h, makes for a quick drop in visibility. Measuring 1.5 cm as of 3:15 pm.

Fortunately looks transient. Appears connected with a shortwave trough tied to offshore low . #nlwx
