It has an eye-like structure!!
Newfoundland forecast....
"Snow will combine with high winds to give near zero visibilities in blowing snow tonight and Tuesday. Total snowfall accumulations from 45 to 60 centimetres are expected through Tuesday night.
A large and intense winter storm currently southeast of Nova Scotia will track very slowly northeastward to lie just south of the Grand Banks tonight where it will become nearly stationary. Snow and blowing snow associated with this system is presently affecting southeastern Newfoundland and will continue to spread northwestward tonight. Over central..Southern and northeastern Newfoundland snow and blowing snow will persist through Tuesday night. Total snowfall accumulations will range from 20 to 60 centimetres (8-24 inches) with the highest amounts over eastern Newfoundland. Over the Avalon the snow is forecast to change to freezing rain Tuesday morning then persist into Tuesday night as temperatures remain steady near or just below zero. Additionally very strong north to northeasterly winds gusting up to 80 km/h (50 mph) inland and to 120 km/h (75 mph) over coastal areas will accompany this system giving blowing snow and widespread reduced visibilities. Higher than normal water levels can also be expected along parts of the east coast an d northeast coast tonight and Tuesday especially in any areas of open water where large waves can develop."
So in other words, we missed a "blizzicane." :)
Thats ok, snow is on the way tomorrow night and Wednesday, and it could actually be a good hit. I'll have a first guess on accumulations tomorrow.
