Since 2017, there hasn’t been any sea ice in St. John’s
This week, people in St. John’s woke up to a strange sight in the harbor: the blue of the Atlantic Ocean and the Narrows had been covered with white sheets.
Ashley Brauweiler, a meteorologist with CBC Newfoundland, says that a layer of sea ice moved into the harbor between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. This was caused by an east-southeasterly wind.
The Canadian Coast Guard says that Wednesday was the first time since March 31, 2017, that icebreakers had to work in the Narrows.
Mike Rossiter, a producer for CBC Newfoundland, took pictures of the harbor while he was there. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery up top.
