Parts of Canada bracing for 25+ cm of April snow this week

As we march even deeper into the heart of the spring season, many parts of Canada are finding it tough to find any consistent signs of warming weather. Add to the mix periods of snow and wintry precipitation, and it's safe to say the winter season is certainly not going out without a strong fight.

This week, parts of the East Coast will bear the brunt of the winter weather, with multiple rounds of April snowfall stacking up in Labrador. The chances for snow flurries will stick around all week long, bringing as much as 25 cm for some.

Although 25+ cm of snow in April may seem extreme, for this part of the country, it's definitely nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, the month as a whole brings about 40-50 cm of snow to Labrador on average.

Some communities, including Nain, even have snowfall chances stretch all the way into June!

"This week will be a little bit different however, as some regions could reach about half of Labrador's monthly averages alone," says Rachel Modestino, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. "The first round early Tuesday will pack quite the punch, with heavy snow and gusty winds stretching from Labrador city to the coast."

A blowing snow warning was issued for the affected areas, with gusts between 70-90 km/h expected at times. Road conditions will likely deteriorate quickly due to potential whiteouts and reduced visibility.

Later on Tuesday, another boundary of much lighter, wet snow will drape across Labrador and inland regions.

The third round builds through the day on Thursday, and will be another one to watch. There is a chance for icy precipitation along the coast from Red Bay to Norman's Bay, and a significant burst of snowfall inland.

As the system departs, northerly winds with gusts between 50-70 km/h will pick back up, along with wrap-around flurries along the coast.

While there is some uncertainty with exact totals, as much as 25 cm is not out of the question for the higher elevation regions. Between 10-20+ cm is expected widespread along the coast, but some icy precipitation or mixing could lessen totals for some.

Travel impacts are likely on both Tuesday and Thursday, during these stronger rounds of snow, so be sure to plan ahead, and adapt to the changing conditions.
