It has been a lousy stretch in Newfoundland. In the capital,
Saint John`s, a weekend storm left two feet of snow. Then, to begin
the week, the storm that brought blizzards to the northeastern USA
and Nova Scotia, Canada, dumped heavy rain with some snow, sleet and
ice. Water equivalent from all this nastiness was almost five inches,
or more than two-fold the average monthly precipitation.
Monday`s chinook-driven warmth in western Canada set and tied
records. Fort Saint John, BC, set a new record high at 46 degrees, or
nearly 40 degrees above average. Tying daily record maximums in
Alberta were Calgary, at 55 degrees, and Edmonton, at 46. Lethbridge,
AB, warmed to 63 degrees after having hit 60 degrees Sunday.
Cyclone Tim is dissipating over the eastern South Indian Ocean as
of Tuesday.

Saturday through Tuesday, rainfall at Hinatuan, eastern Mindanao,
Philippines, was 13.2 inches.
On the island of Reunion, rain amounting to 8.9 inches splashed

A blizzard swept the dry plains of western Kazakhstan since the
start of the week. At Mugodzharskaya, winds blew 35 to 45 mph most of
the time as temperatures held between 0 and -10 degrees. Wind chill
was as low as 45 degrees below zero. Rather than falling snow, it was
blowing snow that was churned into blinding whiteouts.
In eastern Turkey, the town of Bingol was hit by a heavy snowstorm
Sunday to Monday. Within 24 hours, snowfall was 23 inches. In liquid
equivalent, the storm's output was 2.3 inches. The lofty eastern city
of Erzurum chilled early Tuesday to 28 degrees below zero, or 47
lower than it was Monday morning, when squally snows held the
temperature near 20 degrees.
The week began on an unusually rainy note in Karachi, Pakistan.
Rainfall here was 1.0 inch within about 24 hours from Monday morning
to Tuesday morning. January's average rainfall is about 0.3 of an
inch, so these rains were more than three times the monthly mean.
