The NL government department makes decisions re road work some what dependent upon ice break up time.
- Remember frost heaves have to come out of the roads.
- Day temperatures depend upon broader weather conditions.
- For ice go to this site: http://weather.gc.ca/canada_e.html* At the top click on the pull down menu for Marine Weather. Click on East Coast. It gives you Labrador, both east and west Newfoundland and Gulf of St. Lawrence. They're all important.
* Note that interactive site also gives you official initial abbreviations for each province.
Now, I will point to the fact that there are several reports of unusually heavy ice this year. Much of Cape Breton Island's Bra d'Or Lakes are frozen and causing flooding in near by residences. & the Gulf of St Lawrence has lots of ice, which of course slows the movement of the ice in the Strait of Belle Isle and points north.
Thus, I'm forecasting late road work in adjacent lands.
