Weather summary

for Labrador

issued by Environment Canada

at 12:04 p.m. ADT Monday 14 March 2022.


Discussion.


A low pressure system emerged from the eastern United States on 

Saturday, March 12, and rapidly intensified into a large and intense 

storm as it crossed southern Labrador on Sunday, March 13. Heavy 

snow and strong winds associated with the system caused blizzard 

conditions across much of Labrador with widespread blowing snow. 

Over southeastern parts of Labrador, a transition through freezing 

rain to rain occurred early Sunday morning before precipitation 

changed back to flurries. 


Of note: the Cartwright weather station measured a barometric 

pressure value of 945.1 milibars at 11:59 A.M. ADT on Sunday. This 

broke the old all-time lowest barometric pressure of 950.7 mb 

previously recorded at the site on December 2, 1972. Barometric 

pressure records have been kept at Cartwright since 1955.
