==DISCUSSION==
A BLIZZARD IS EXPECTED IN MUCH OF THE KIVALLIQ ON SUNDAY.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM BAFFIN ISLAND COMBINED WITH A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST WILL BRING STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS
WITH VERY POOR VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW TO THE AREA MONDAY. THE
BLIZZARD WILL DEVELOP IN MOST AREAS SUNDAY MORNING, WITH RANKIN
INLET AND WHALE COVE SEEING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS DEVELOPING SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.
THE BLIZZARD SHOULD END SOMETIME MONDAY MORNING.
TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO
NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. CONSIDER POSTPONING NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL UNTIL
CONDITIONS IMPROVE. IF YOU DO TRAVEL AND BECOME LOST, REMAIN WHERE
YOU ARE UNTIL THE BLIZZARD HAS PASSED.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
