SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR:
      CONNAIGRE.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
==DISCUSSION==

SNOW, POSSIBLY FOLLOWED BY ICE PELLETS AND FREEZING RAIN, IS 
EXPECTED. 

LOCATION: CONNAIGRE. 

TOTAL SNOW AND ICE PELLET ACCUMULATIONS: 5 TO 10 CM. 

TIME SPAN: THURSDAY EVENING UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING. 

REMARKS: LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE WEATHER SYSTEM 
RESPONSIBLE FOR A WINTRY MIX OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF NEWFOUNDLAND 
IS EXPECTED TO BE FURTHER EAST THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. AS A 
RESULT, MOST OF THE CONNAIGRE PENINSULA SHOULD REMAIN AS 
PREDOMINANTLY SNOW THROUGHOUT THIS EVENT. THERE REMAINS A RISK OF 
ICE PELLETS OR FREEZING RAIN OVER EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE PENINSULA, 
ESPECIALLY IF THE WEATHER SYSTEM TRACKS FURTHER WEST. 

ANY SMALL SHIFTS IN THE TRACK OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM COULD CAUSE 
NOTABLE CHANGES TO THE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION TYPES AND AMOUNTS. BE 
SURE TO CHECK FOR REGULARLY UPDATED FORECASTS TO STAY INFORMED. 

TRAVEL COULD BECOME DIFFICULT. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL, BE PREPARED FOR 
DELAYS AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY 
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
